From Prairie Moon Nursery: 
Spreading slowly but steadily by underground rhizomes, Lady Fern is a classic fern for any woodland garden. With deeply-cut, light green fronds, it pairs nicely with Wild Ginger or Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and all are rabbit and deer resistant! Division is a common propagation method for most native ferns. You may choose to divide plants early spring for quicker spread. While typically found in full to part shade in drier soils than most ferns, Lady Fern is also tolerant of full sun if the site can be kept moist.
