    Zn 6. Feathery finely divided fronds. Compact. Polystichum setiferum ‘Plumosum Densum’ is a small evergreen fern that features overlapping leaflets on soft, delicate fronds in a compact, upright, vase-shaped clump.

    The perfect landscape fern for the shady side of your local nuclear power plant. You would be hard pressed to find a more mutant looking fern. The bizarre three-dimensional layered fronds are strange as hell; you need this. It is my current favorite fern and better still it propagates by frond cuttings if you are patient (play a little Gun's and Roses, kick back and whistle along)
