Light ShadeZone: 6-8, guessing 18" tall Origin: Asia
Since we first planted Dryopteris pycnopteroides in 2000, this easy-to-grow, evergreen Asian clumper has become one of our all time favorite ferns. Unfortunately, it's now in the middle of a taxonomic tug-of-war, since some fern experts think it is actually D. kuratae, and we think they are probably correct. We are waiting on final confirmation before we change the tags. The shiny, erect dark green fronds reach 2' in length, highlighted at the base by black "fur". Our 10 year old clumps are 18" tall x 2' wide. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
