Name:Dixie wood fern (Dryopteris x australis)
Zones: 5 to 9Size: 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide
Shade tolerance: Partial to full shade
This big, bold fern's dark, glossy leaves shoot straight up. Dixie wood fern is a natural backdrop for shade beds.In warm climates, the foliage is semievergreen, but I recommend removing ragged leaves in early spring as new fiddleheads emerge. This plant will grow well in full sun with moist soil, but it also easily handles dry-shade sites.
