The Lady Fern (Athyrium) has a more finely divided bipinnate frond than the Boston Fern — the frond subdivides more delicately, creating a lighter, more graceful botanical texture. The Boston Fern's broader arching frond creates more botanical abundance and visual mass; the Lady Fern creates a more refined, delicate botanical accent.
The Lady Fern 40cm UV is a standalone stem for garden bed insertion at 40cm — more height, a true Athyrium fern frond form. The Mimosa Fern 20cm is a compact potted specimen at 20cm. Both are fine-textured botanical accents; the Lady Fern is the UV garden bed stem specification at greater height.
