General Culture:
Easily grown in humusy, organically rich, medium wet, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Divide clumps in spring. This cultivar is reportedly not stable and over time may revert to producing fronds more similar in appearance to those of the species. Will not come true if propagated from spores.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
Frizelliae is a dwarf, deciduous cultivar which typically grows to 12" tall and features very narrow (to 7/8" wide), 12-18" long fronds with rounded, ball-like pinnae attached to the midrib somewhat like a string of beads. These unique pinnae give rise to the generally accepted common name of tatting fern for this cultivar, notwithstanding the fact that the species and other cultivars thereunder are commonly called lady ferns.
No serious insect or disease problems.
Uses:
Woodland gardens, shaded border fronts. Also effective along streams or ponds.
