    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A fabulous evergreen fern with a very different look than its other fern relatives. Long narrow leaves to about 18 inches form clumps up to about 3 feet wide arising from creeping rhizomes. A woodland creature it perfers rich moist well drained soils in light to deep shade. Very attractive in the understory where its glossy leaves shine in dappled light. Evergreen in USDA zone 8 possibly re-growing from the roots in zone 7
