Dryopteris marginalis – Evergreen Woodfern

Dryopteris marginalis – Evergreen Woodfern

SKU 5001185 Category

Dryopteris marginalis, commonly called marginal shield fern, is an evergreen, which typically forms a non-spreading, vase-shaped clump to 1.5-2′ (infrequently to 3′) tall. This is a woodland fern which is most often found in shaded crevices of rocky ledges and bluffs. Features grayish-green, deeply cut, leathery fronds (15-20″ long). Sori are located at the edges or margins of the pinnule undersides, hence the common name. Its rhizome forms an erect crown. Evergreen fronds provide good interest to the winter landscape.

“Prefers moist, well-drained, humus, rich soil in partial to full shade; broad, erect crown densely covered with light brown scales; produces a large, single crown; does not spread; hardy.  It is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. It prefers moist, rich, humusy, acidic soils with protection from wind.” (North Carolina Extension)
