This Don Jacobs selection of the easy-to-grow, heat-loving Thelypteris torresiana has proven to be much more winter hardy than any other form of this typically tropical fern. For us, Thelypteris torresiana 'Eco Maiden Lace' makes a deciduous tree fern-like 5' tall clump of exceptionally cutleaf deer-resistant foliage...much more divided than other forms we have grown. Thelypteris 'Eco Maiden Lace' provides a splendid airy texture among bold textured shade plants such as hosta. I can't imagine gardening without this great hardy fern!
