This is a tall, arching and bright green fern that is perfect for a moist shady border. Although it is evergreen, I remove the old fronds in spring and feed it with a general purpose fertilizer. This encourages many large lush fronds.
It must have moist soil and shade. It doesn't like clayey soils though, so add plenty of compost and grit to the planting hole if you have heavy clay.
You can divide this fern in spring just as fronds have just started unfurling.
