Eared Lady Fern

AKA: Auriculate Lady Fern

Athyrium otophorum 'Okanum'

Wonderful fern that I wish I had more of. The purple stems contrast beautifully with the chartreuse leaves. Very hardy.

    Love this fern. Almost more beautiful while emerging than full. Looks great through spring and summer.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
