Why this product works
Product details & specifications
The Artificial Fern (Lady Fern) 40cm UV Resistant presents the Athyrium — the Lady Fern — in a UV-certified outdoor botanical stem at 40 centimetres. The Lady Fern is valued for its delicately divided bipinnate frond — lighter, more refined, and more botanically graceful than the coarser divided fronds of Boston Fern alternatives. ISO-certified UVTex UV inhibitors. Frost resistant. 12-month warranty.
The Lady Fern at 40cm UV-certified — the most delicately refined outdoor fern stem specification, the finely divided Athyrium frond creating a lighter, more graceful botanical accent than the broader-frond alternatives.
