      Comments about Lady Fern:

      I ordered the Lady Fern last October. They came as
      bareroots so I planted them and waited for their
      Spring arrival. I was walking in the yard the other
      day and was delighted to see the red stems had popped
      up baring lime green leaves. Plants look very health
      and are doing well. Despite a drought in the area.
      I was very happy with the delivery and packaging of
      this product.
