Dryopteris dilatata 'Jimmy Dyce'

Wow…a fern with a common name almost as long as the Latin one! It has always been obvious to me that botanists who name ferns have OCD big time! This is one sweet small clumping fern at 12-24”…evergreen, stiff erect fronds, very lacy, bluish green, from the British Isles. Happiest with some shade, moist acidic soil with organic matter (we don’t indulge it…but it looks good!). Top Ten fern here.
