Western Sword Fern |
Description
This Fern produces upright fronds, reaching 4'-5' tall in moist, cool forests in Northern California. This size is usually lower, especially without summer watering. It is great in containers or dry shade landscapes. This species is especially useful togive the illusion of lush, moist gardens where little water is actually being used. It should receive part shade to dense shade.

Water Saving Tip:
Plant shrubs and trees in groupings according to similarity of water requirements; then water each "hydrozone" according to its needs.
