Spinulose Wood Fern - Dryopteris carthusiana Size:2 Quart and admire your garden’s dailyA lacy, cheerfully bright green woodland fern that happily fills out those shady spots in a rock garden or under the shelter of a few trees. The delicate fronds of this fern go through a series of interesting and captivating stages, from the unfurling fiddleheads to the verdant summer fronds to the spore producing season. In mild winters, some even remain green through the winter months. Conditions: Part shade to full shade; moist, well drained soil
