A bold and beautiful choice for shady borders and woodland gardens. A stunning dwarf fern with a flush of young papery fronds that emerge a copper-red color, then mature to a deep green. An herbaceous perennial that stays evergreen in mild winter regions.
Growth habit: Spreading
Native origin: Japan, China, and Thaiwan
Hardiness zones: 6-10

Is Rabbit and Deer resistant and can handle coastal climates.
Not toxic to cats and dogs.
Growth Rate: Moderate
Maintenance: Provide protection during especially cold days and remove old, faded fronds once new growth comes in with spring
