Arching cut-leaf fronds rise from a thick, slowly creeping rhizome. Unique to ferns in that its soft, lacy fronds have an upside-down appearance. An ideal woodland plant for moist, partly shaded areas. A top fern among collectors, the highly textured foliage combines beautifully with shade-loving shrubs and perennials. Semi-evergreen.
