Dryopteridaceae
Athyrium filix-femina 'Victoriae'
Ladyfern, Victoria Ladyfern
The upright to arching fronds of this striking ladyfern cultivar are lined with narrow, pointed, finely divided leaflets with crested (branched) ends. Both the main leaflets and their smaller divisions cross over one another to form numerous “X” shapes. Perfect for shaded mixed borders, woodland gardens and containers, ‘Victoriae’ should planted where its unusual 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.
