Struthiopteris (or Blechnum) spicant (Deer Fern) (1 gal)
This graceful evergreen fern is an excellent addition to a part- or full-shade woodland garden that has humus-rich soils.
Its lower, lush fronds are evergreen and sterile; its fertile fronds emerge from the center and stand erect, resembling delicate black combs. In the right conditions, this is one of our most stunning native ferns!
Typically reaches 2 ft. (up to 3 ft. in moister conditions). Plant in shade, top dress with compost and/or wood-chip mulch. May require more supplemental water during its establishment period.
