Very upright pinnate wood fern superficially reminiscient of an oversized Polystichum acrostichoides or Christmas fern. The pinnae margins can be nicely lobed on some specimens and John Mickel's plants of this in his garden are truly impressive. Lime colored new growth brightens up shady parts of the garden.
