Dryopteris varia coll. #CSC009009 (Vari Nice Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6b-9, at least 15" tall Origin: China

Open House/Web-Only! This little-known semi-evergreen fern makes a nice clump, composed of very wide green fronds that emerge with an attractive bronze coloration. Although slow-growing, Dryopteris varia is quite easy to grow when planted in an evenly moist soil, eventually forming a 15" tall x 2' wide deer-resistant clump. These offerings are spore-propagated from original spore collected by Darrell Probst from 3160' elevation near Jinfo-shan in China's Chongqing Province. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
