Lady Fern

Lady Fern, also called Northwestern Lady Fern, is most likely found in dry and open meadows. A member of the Athyriaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 11.  It is found worldwide in the northern hemisphere.   Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America.  Perhaps the prettiest of all our native ferns, it will grow in an amazing set of conditions, but always needs water.  It often colonizes a shady area, spreading via its roots (rhizomes).
