Male Fern (Dryopteris bushiana) - Description
Wood Ferns are native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. They generally have stout, slowly creeping rootstocks that form a crown, with a vase-like ring of fronds.
Male Fern (Dryopteris bushiana) - Growth
There are many species in this genus of ferns, 1-4 feet tall. Plants bear scaly rhizomes that either creep to form small clumps or are erect and form crowns. Dryopteris does best in partial shade. Grow Dryopteris among other herbaceous plants and shrubs. Less hardy plants should be raised in a cool greenhouse with a minimum temperature of 35°F (2°C). During the day, set temperatures between 41-50°F (5-10°C), and at night, keep the temperature at 36°F (2°C).
