About the Leatherwood
Fern :
The Leatherwood Fern or Marginal Shield Fern is
an evergreen fern which typically forms a
non-spreading, vase-shaped clump to 1.5-2'
(infrequently to 3') tall. This is a woodland fern
which is most often found in shaded crevices of
rocky ledges and bluffs. Leatherwood Ferns features
grayish-green, deeply cut, leathery fronds (15-20"
long).
Sori are located at the edges or margins of the
pinnule undersides, hence the common name. These
ferns prefer loamy moist soils, and do best in cool
position in the garden, so avoid the afternoon sun.
The evergreen fronds are very attractive and provide
good interest to the winter landscape. |
