Dryopteris x australis / DIXIE WOOD FERN
Dryopteris x australis, commonly known as Dixie Wood Fern, is a vigorous and hardy fern that thrives in moist, well-drained soils in partial to full shade. This fern features large, arching fronds with a lush, deep green color, creating a bold, tropical-like presence in the garden. Its distinctive, broadly triangular shape and finely divided leaflets give it an elegant, yet rugged appearance, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, or naturalized areas. Dixie Wood Fern is particularly appreciated for its tolerance to a range of soil types, including acidic or loamy conditions, and its ability to thrive in areas with high moisture. With its impressive size and graceful form, Dryopteris x australis adds both texture and visual interest to shaded landscapes, offering a reliable and low-maintenance solution for filling out woodland spaces.
