Dryopteris munchii (Mexican Snack Fern)

Light ShadeZone: 7b-9, at least 18" tall Origin: Mexico

Open House/Web-Only! We have been unable to determine the proper immigration status of Dryopteris munchii, but since it has now had babies in the US, this native of 6,500' - 8,500' in southern Mexico is in our garden to stay. The arching 2' fronds make a superb 3' wide evergreen specimen clump in the woodland garden. While we grow over 1,000 different ferns, Dryopteris munchii has certainly become one of our favorites. Despite its common name, Dryopteris munchii is still deer-resistant. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
