Dryopteris atrata

Dryopteris aratata or Dryopteris cycadina is a tall, yet sturdy, and hardy, semi evergreen fern. Known more commonly as Shaggy Wood Fern, this plant produces bright green, lance shaped fronds with small black hair on the pinnae. Due to its preference for shade, this plant would do best in a shaded border or woodland garden.

Plant in a moist, well drained, humus rich soil. Thrives best in partial to full shade but will grow in full sun, if watered regularly.
