Moderate-growing evergreen fern to 2-3’ tall x 3-4’ wide. This attractive clumping variety spreads via underground stems to form a spreading mound of gracefully-arching fronds clad with lacy, bright-green foliage that’s perfect for creating a tropical appearance in shadier parts of the garden. Well-suited in woodland settings, beds, borders or atriums, and makes a great container specimen. Cold hardy to 20° F, this delicate-looking fern requires regular watering in a rich, well-drained soil, and thrives in a light shade to filtered sun exposure. Reduce watering in winter for best results.
USDA Zone: 9A-11
