Dryopteris x complexa 'Robust'

Robust Male Fern

Plant Type: Fern

A tall vigorous growing selection of the semi-evergreen Male Fern with stately upright fronds. Dark green foliage grows boldly from a central crown and then gently arches over. Fronds are deeply divided and appear almost ruffled.  This durable cold-tolerant fern prefers moist well-drained soil and once established will tolerate drought.  Native to Western US.
