Fern-T. Southern Wood
Fern-T. Southern Wood (Thelypteris kunthii) is a fast-growing native semi-evergreen fern with long, arching fronds that spread outward in all directions. Southern Wood Fern features bright sea-green, sword-shaped fronds with a hairy texture that develop bronze hues in fall, adding seasonal color and movement to the landscape.
This fern grows best in part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Fern-T. Southern Wood (Thelypteris kunthii)becomes drought tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized areas. Also sold as Thelypteris normalis, this fern is a reliable and fast-growing option for year-round texture.
