âCristatumâ crested lady fern (Athyrium filix femina âCristatumâ) is an evergreen fern that is easy to grow in USDA zones 4 through 9. This 1- to 3-foot-tall plant thrives in full or partial shade and produces ruffled fronds that fall slightly in an arching manner.
Under the canopies of towering trees and dense foliage grow plant species that thrive in little to no direct sunlight. In their natural environments, shade plants create a serene landscape of bold emerald green colors and vibrant flower blossoms.
