Also called tatting fern, Frizelliae is easily grown in rich, medium-moist, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Tolerates drier soils than many other ferns. Will tolerate full sun, however, only if soil is kept constantly moist. Features lacy-cut, erect or ascending, 2 to 3-pinnate or pinnatifid, finely-divided, lanceolate, light green fronds which grow in a dense circular pattern. Combine with bold-leaved plants in the shade or woodland garden such as hostas and brightly colored heucheras. USDA Zones 2-8. Grows to 3’ tall.
