Western Sword Fern |
Information by: J.J. Neilson Arboretum Photographer: Greg Applegate
Description
This Fern produces upright fronds, reaching 2'-4' tall. It is great in containers or dry shade landscapes. This species is especially useful to give the illusion of lush, moist gardens where little water is actually being used. It should receive part shade to dense shade. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:
Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.
Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
