Over the last 6 or so years, I have tried a total of 14 of these plants from a variety of sources. Many have flourished during the summer but none of them has survived the winter in spite of being described as hardy to zone 4. I'm successfully growing some pretty fussy ferns, so I'm wondering if Japanese beech fern is not as hardy as claimed.
