Dryopteris celsa
Log Fern Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
The Log Fern is a rare fern scattered from Georgia to Arkansas and in Michigan. It is a fertile tetraploid hybrid between the southern Dryopteris ludoviciana (Southern Shield Fern) and the northern D. goldiana (Goldies Wood Fern). It has firm textured, oblong, almost twice cut fronds to 4 feet tall and 8 inches wide. This would be the tallest of our Wood Ferns. It forms slowly expanding clumps that are evergreen in the south. It wants shade and good moist soil. Cat# 1081
