Leatherleaf fern. Evergreen fern with triangular, finely cut, glossy green fronds to 3’. A vigorous fern for full sun along the coast or partial shade elsewhere, it will spread rapidly in favorable sites by long-jointed creeping rhizomes. Another exceptional choice for woodland gardens combined with New Zealand sedges such as Carex testacea, dipsacea, or comans. The leathery fronds are often used as filler in floral arrangements. Hardy to 24F. Cosmopolitan, Southern Hemisphere.
