Athyrium filix-femina 'Minutissimum' is one of our favorite ferns for the small garden. This easy-to-grow fern prefers slightly moist soil but is also very drought-tolerant. Athyrium 'Minutissimum' forms a delightful 1' tall x 2' wide clump of arching light green fronds, which is much shorter than a full-sized lady fern that can reach 3-4' in height...very cute!
