This is a beautiful low to medium-sized fern that performs well in moist shady conditions. Plants form a tidy clump of arching dark green fronds with a glossy finish. Foliage remains evergreen in mild winter regions, but old fronds may be trimmed back in the spring. Well-behaved and not invasive. Excellent for a woodland edging. [Source: Perennials.com]
