With its upright rootstock that on older plants tends to be exposed and conspicuous, it behaves essentially like a small tree fern. Does best in a cool position in the garden. This species prefers moist, loamy soils, but is drought tolerant and easy to grow. Well suited to a shaded rock or woodland garden.

evergreen woodfern


native, rock garden, part shade - shade
n N Amer, Eurasia

The circular cluster of finely cut, evergreen fronds arises from a stocky, upright base. The overall effect is somewhat like a miniature, very short-trunked tree fern. Referred to as "fancy ferns" by florists, who often use the leaves in bouquets. Neat, attractive, and well-behaved, this species is well suited to cultivation.
