Japanese Wood Fern
Dryopteris
Wood Fern
One of the largest genera of ferns, Dryopteris adore light shade in wooded locales and evenly moist, compost-rich soil. Their attractive feathery fronds lend refined texture to the broader foliage of other plants, such as Hydrangeas, Ligularia and Astilboides.
This easily grown, clumping Asian fern unfurls otherworldly black-stemmed croziers followed by lustrous evergreen fronds that stretch to 2 ft., sporting curious black fuzz at their bases. Wildly popular due to its erect princely appearance, D. pycnopteroides can be ensconced near water or in damp shady niches.
Size: 18" high x 2' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 6.
