Culture

Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11 where this fern is easily grown in filtered shade with regular water. Some tolerance for both sunny and shady conditions, but is best grown in part shade. Site in locations protected from strong winds. Tolerates clay soils better than most ferns. Tolerant of somewhat dry soils on occasion (likes to dry out between applications of water). Intolerant of overly moist soils. May survive temperature dips in winter to as much as 25 degrees F.

This is a popular container plant in areas north of Zone 9 including the St. Louis area where it is best grown in an acidic, humus-rich, peaty potting mix with sand added to improve drainage. Misting of foliage is not necessary. Indirect bright light is preferable in winter. More subdued light is preferable in summer. Propagate by breaking off pieces of rhizome.
