Good solid native plant. A staple to our local forests. attractive foliage and hardy nature.
Have found the best aesthetic value achieved when you remove all mature fronds every year to every two years right before the surge of new fronds in the spring. The plant has no problem with the lose of fronds and it keeps the stand looking fresh and healthy.

A beautiful native fern ubiquitous (and I mean ubiquitous!) to western washington, western oregon and british columbia forests, this fern is much hardier than mentioned here (i have seen it recorded as a zone 3 and up fern) Nonetheless it certainly has no problem here in drizzly zone 8b. It looks attractive in floral arrangements
