Maidenhair Fern Dormant Bare Root Perennial Starter Plants, 5-Pack

Maiden Hair fern is named for its unique frond shape that resembles a maiden's braided tresses. This fragile-looking, but fully hardy fern adds textural interest and bright color to even the darkest sites. The plants emerge in late Spring and continue to grow and spread throughout Summer and even into Fall until the first frost finally drives them into dormancy. Their wide, 18 to 24 inch spread makes them ideal for ground cover, transforming a barren, shaded spot into a lush garden spot. They are stunning planted in groups throughout a north-facing border or tucked between trees along a wooded area. Hardy and easy to grow almost anywhere, they thrive where other plants fail. They are also deer resistant.
