The Athyrium ‘Frizelliae’, also known as the Irish Lace Fern, is a striking and compact outdoor fern that stands out thanks to its unique leaf structure. Instead of the typical fronds, the small leaflets grow in rounded, curled shapes along thin stems. This gives the plant a playful and slightly unusual appearance – perfect for those who appreciate distinctive foliage.

Growth and Location:
Frizelliae stays fairly low (about 30 to 40 cm tall) and thrives in partial to full shade. A sheltered spot out of the direct afternoon sun will help keep the foliage fresh and green.

Care:
  
Soil: Moist, humus-rich, and well-draining soil. You can add compost when planting.
  
Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid letting the roots dry out.
  
Winter: This fern is hardy and loses its leaves in winter. It will sprout again naturally in spring.
  
Maintenance: No pruning needed. Remove dead fronds in spring to make room for new growth.
Use:
Ideal for shady borders, woodland gardens, or as an eye-catching plant in a pot on the patio. Its compact size also makes it suitable for smaller gardens or planted among other ferns and foliage plants.

The Athyrium ‘Frizelliae’ is a true collector’s fern – a unique addition that rarely goes unnoticed.
