Male Fern is a deciduous fern with an arching open habit. Male Fern has 3’ medium green fronds that are almost bipinnate and finely serrated sub-leaflets. 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.
