Dryopteris x separabilis (Separate Wood Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9, guessing 30" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! This rare NC native (and just over the border in Virginia) is a naturally occurring hybrid between D. celsa and D. intermedia. In the garden, it forms a robust 30" tall x 30" wide clump of wide, rich medium green, glossy, strongly-upright leaves. In late winter, the leaves, like a good drunk, soon loose their verticality. In the wild, D. x separabilis grows well above, but still near swampy habitats. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
