Comments:
Excellent fern for the woodland garden provided there is a generous amount of humus in the soil. Ferns grow best in moist, fertile soil that contains a lot of organic matter like leaf mold. Cut back old fronds in late winter to insure a new crop of fresh foliage in the spring. Fertilize ferns in early spring about the time new growth is expected. Easily propagated by division.
