Marginal Wood Fern (Dryopteris marginalis) is a woodland evergreen fern most often found in damp, shady crevices of rocky ledges, or in dense forest conditions. It has grey-green leathery fronds that provide year-round ground cover and color, perfect for a winter garden. In addition to providing nest materials for native birds, this 1 – 3 foot hardy fern is a larval host for the Conifer Swift Moth (shown above), among others. It thrives in deep or partial shade and in moist, acidic soil, preferably in an area that is protected from the wind.
