An old cultivar that has been in gardens since the Victorian era, when fern breeding was highly prevalent, this peculiar lady fern has cross-hatched fronds that bring great visual interest along woodland garden paths. This clumping fern is very well-behaved and thrives in most shady garden soils. It grows adequately in partial sun, so long as the soil is moist enough, and may benefit from protection from wind if located in exposed sites.
