Large 2 feet tall vase-shaped fronds with spreading, glossy, leathery, coarsely-fringed, holly-like, dark-green, pinnae is one of the most popular ferns due to its hardiness and beautiful distinctive shape. Its new fronds are four to seven inches wide, which form a vase like crown. Two-foot fronds have up to 14 pairs of glossy leaflets.
This hardy deciduous fern is easy to grow in organically rich, medium to wet, well-drained soils. If the frond edges become scorched or crispy, the soil may be too dry. Add 2 to 3 inches of compost or peat moss to the beds each spring or fall. Best frond color occurs in light shade. Use in containers, as a ground cover or for borders in woodland, shady locations.
One quart container (larger bare root may be substituted depending on crop cycle).
