Crested Ladyfern, Dre's Dagger Ladyfern
The tall, arching fronds of this eye-catching ladyfern cultivar are lined with long, very narrow, finely divided leaflets ending in small, branched crests, which cross over one another to form numerous “X” shapes. Perfect for shaded mixed borders, woodland gardens and containers, ‘Dre’s Dagger’ should planted where its distinctive foliage can be admired up close.
Ladyfern is a deciduous, terrestrial species occurring throughout temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It thrives in full to part shade and moist, rich, acid to neutral soil. Regular moisture is particularly beneficial in areas with more sun. Vigorous, elegant and easy to grow, it was a great favorite in gardens of the Victorian era.
