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)
