AKTRD Lady Fern

Bare roots are dormant plants shipped without soil around their root systems. This is a common, healthy way to transport perennials, as it allows them to wake up and establish themselves directly in your garden soil once planted.

Once planted in the spring, Lady Ferns typically begin to show new growth within a few weeks. While they may take a full season to reach their mature size, they are known for being vigorous growers once settled.

While they are excellent for ground cover, Lady Ferns can thrive in large containers if you provide adequate drainage and consistent moisture. Ensure the pot is deep enough to accommodate their root system and keep them in a shaded spot.

They prefer partial to full shade, meaning they do best in areas that receive dappled sunlight or are protected from the harsh afternoon sun. If planted in an area with too much direct light, the fronds may scorch or dry out.

It is helpful to soak the roots in lukewarm water for about 30 to 60 minutes before planting. This rehydrates the roots and helps the plant transition more smoothly into the soil.
