Description Maidenhair fern is one of the most beautiful ferns for the garden. The fronds are atypical in that they are palmate — like a hand with fingers. They are held on black stems. The Western maidenhair fern (Adiantum aleuticum) is a native of BC and is frequently found on deeply shaded steep banks and cliffs. In the garden, however, it is quite amenable to average garden soils in full to part shade. It is similar to the northern maidenhair fern (A. pedatum) but the fronds tend to be more upright (especially in more light) or slightly arching rather than lax or arching and less hardy. Possibly hardy to zone 3.
