About this plant

Dryopteris filix-mas ‘Linearis’ is a distinctive male fern cultivar that thrives in full to part shade with average to moist soil. The narrow pinna leaflets create an unusually lacy, delicate appearance while maintaining the leathery texture characteristic of male ferns. This unique form adds fine texture to shade gardens in Gorham while remaining easy to grow and maintain. Semi-evergreen in milder winters with good drought tolerance once established.
