This attractive fern is native to Vietnam and has thrived here in zone 9b. (Not common in local nurseries).

I have always felt just a little disappointed with this fern, perhaps it is because I prefer the looks of Cyrtomium falcatum, but it is less hardy and will not tolerate hard frosts.

I planted one either end of a raised bed 7 years ago, they have been slow to bulk. It is possibly the wrong position for them, they are fairly shaded but do get some sun, and in dry spells the fronds tend to look dry. When it first unfurls it's fronds it does look OK, a wetter position may be more suitable for it.

Neutral Baa On Aug 22, 2002, Baa wrote:

Evergreen fern from East Asia.

Has pale green, pinnate fronds which vaguely resemble a Holly (Ilex) leaf.

Loves a moist but well-drained, fertile soil in shade.
