Athyrium otophorum, commonly known as the eared lady fern, is a deciduous species prized for its unique color palette and graceful habit. It typically grows in a tufted, vase-shaped formation reaching about 18 to 20 inches in height and width. The triangular, bipinnate fronds emerge in a striking pale green or silvery-gold hue, contrasting beautifully against dark burgundy stems. This low-maintenance fern thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soils within sheltered, shady garden spots.
