Goldie's Shield Fern is a large deciduous fern native to the Northeast with an upright open habit. Goldie’s Shield Fern has 3-4’ backward arching triangular fronds that can be either dark green or golden green and abruptly taper at the tips. Thrives in rich, moist, acidic soils with some shade.
*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
