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.

"The Woodfern is a very beautiful fern. It makes a terrific border plant for shade areas."
"Three of three bare root material sprouted."
"Last year (Aug 2015) I ordered, received and planted 3 maidenhair and 3 marginal woodffern per planting instuctions, i. e. , plant root up 1 inch below soil line. I live in Philadelphia, PA. It is now Aapril 24, 2016. I do not know if the roots died over the winter or am I being inpatient, because they have not appeared. The other items I purchased worked out fine."
"I bought several roots in the fall. Half I planted in the ground the other's I put in a pot. The ones planted in the ground are doing very well. The ones in the pot are coming up but not as strong as the others."
"Not sure about planting instructions - I planted them at correct depth. two have started to grow fronds. One I have not been able to find eventhough I did mark where I planted it. It may have died during winter:-("
