Description
Phegopteris hexagonoptera, commonly known as the Broad Beech Fern or Southern Beech Fern, is a deciduous fern native to eastern North America. This plant thrives in moist, rich, well-drained, acidic soils, typically found in woodlands, ravines, and rocky slopes. It prefers partial to deep shade but can occasionally be found in sunnier, drier areas. The Southern Beech Fern forms a graceful, arching clump of fronds that are broadly triangular, and slightly hairy on the underside, giving the plant a delicate texture.
Southern Beech Fern has the ability to spread rapidly through creeping rhizomes, which make it an optimal groundcover in its preferred growing conditions. Its dense foliage provides excellent cover for small mammals and other wildlife, making it the perfect understory plant for soft landings around the bases of trees.
This fern is also resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a resilient choice for naturalized areas and shade gardens.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
