The Maiden Hair Fern grows in slightly spreading clumps with fronds that are finely cut, delicate, and attractive. It gives a nice, airy effect. The leaflets on the maidenhair are mostly fan shaped, thin textured and bright green. These ferns do best with steady moisture and soil that is rich in organic matter. Protect your maidenhair fern from snails. You may want to consider these plants as indoor or greenhouse plants if you do not get outside to your garden as often as you would like. Plant in sheltered areas such as a deep entry way where they can enjoy maximum protection from extreme sun and hard frosts. Cut back fronds slightly in the spring to encourage fresh, new growth in the spring. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.
