A large semi-evergreen fern for part shade to shade. Fast growing to 4′ tall and wide, with bipinnate leaves on delicately arching stems. Will slowly colonize an area with good conditions. Prefers acidic, moist soil but fairly drought tolerant once established. Cut back in spring just before new fronds emerge for a tidier look.
