Add a dignified presence to the landscape with this magnificent fern. Long, upright fronds are especially beautiful when caught by a breeze. Provides a lovely understory for a shrub border or use as ground cover in open woodland. Also can be used as a houseplant. Vigorous and tolerant. Prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil.
