Athyrium otophorum, commonly known as Eared Lady Fern, is a stunning deciduous fern featuring distinctive triangular fronds with a silvery-green hue and burgundy-red stems. This elegant fern creates a beautiful contrast in shaded garden areas, with fronds reaching approximately 60cm in height.
Perfect for adding texture and colour to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and damp areas. The unique ear-shaped pinnae give this fern its common name and make it a standout feature in any shade garden. Thrives in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Hardy and low-maintenance once established, this fern is ideal for east-facing and south-facing areas where it can enjoy protection from harsh afternoon sun.
