Overview
Marginal Woodfern is a handsome, vase-shaped, evergreen fern with rich, blue-green color. In spring, furry golden fiddleheads arise in circles from the rootstock and unfurl into large, gracefully arching fronds that last all the way through frost. Occurring naturally in shaded rocky crevices, this fern makes an elegant display all season long. (Dryopteris marginalis)

Description

Marginal woodfern creates a particularly elegant effect in the landscape with fronds rising like a bouquet from a small exposed rootstock, forming a graceful and dramatic vase-shaped specimen. Evergreen fronds with a rich blue-green color have ample substance to help them last right through frosts. Marginal woodfern prefers shady spots with evenly moist, slightly acidic soils. The most drought-tolerant of all the wood ferns.
