Athyrium filix-femina 'Encourage' (Crested Lady Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-8 12" tall Origin: USA

This hot, new, vegetatively propagated selection of the deciduous southern lady fern was selected by Angelo and Carol Randaci of Kentucky's The Fernery. Each 1' wide clump of light green foliage is composed of 18" long arching fronds, each ending with a huge petticoat. I don't know about you, but I'm all for encouraging more petticoats in the garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
