Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina ssp. cyclosorum) is a large feathery fern at Leaning Oaks, second in size only to the Western Sword Fern. Unlike that species, which is evergreen, Lady Fern fronds go dormant in the fall and disappear for the winter months. It is a very attractive plant, and widely used in gardens. It grows best in shady sites that are slightly moist and shaded.
