In Raleigh N.C., these ferns are spectacular when grown in the shade. My only experience is in containers, not in ground. I have noticed that with too much direct sun, the fronds become dark and thin. With a little morning sun and shade from 10-11am on, the fronds grow really wide and stay a stunning bright green. Their shape is also an eye-catcher, I have had many a guest ask what kind of "palm" it is. I have tried to over winter inside but the plants suffer considerably and take a long time to get going the following spring.
