A special, variegated form of a special addition to any woodland garden, these evergreen ferns (yes, ferns) spread slowly to form dramatic clumps of one foot tall, erect "tongues" with copper-brown felty backsides. Shade to part shade and even moisture. Frost hardy to 5 °F, mid USDA zone 7. A curiosity and a wonderful accent.
