Male Fern

This classic, robust fern is known for its size and exquisite foliage that is retained even in cold weather. The pale yellow-green fronds darken to an emerald color...the leaves are fringed and narrow, with dark brown spores attached to the underside of the fronds.

This perennial fern is a terrific border plant or at home in the woodland garden...shade loving, low maintenance and extremely hardy.

The Male Fern contrasts well with Hostas, another shade-lover. A great companion providing contrast in form and color would be the Francee or golden leaved Sum and Substance... for another more modern combination, use this fern with sedge, an undemanding, ornamental grass...try our new Carex Evergold!
