Love this one so much it was in my bridal bouquet back in 2007! Then spied it again in the Great Smoky Mountains covering a mountainside. Maidenhair fern is a delightfully airy and delicate fern that is deciduous and clump forming. For ferns this one is fairly easy to grow; it needs average to moist well drained soil and full to part shade. If happy, it will slowly spread by rhizomes. Beautiful plant, we are so excited to put some in our own shade garden.
