Dryopteris arguta is an evergreen fern with green foliage. Grows well with mostly shade - shade and regular - low water. Does well in average and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something verticillium wilt resistant.
An evergreen native fern with dark green, finely cut, airy fronds, 2-3' tall spreading slowly by rhizomes. A bit challenging to establish, but once settled makes a strong, reliable garden subject. Plant in partial to full shade and provide only occasional water once established. Remove fading fronds for a cleaner appearance. Hardy to 0°F. Washington to Southern California.
