Dryopteris nipponensis Texas native plants dark blue-green border(aka: Dryopteris cystolepidota) Dryopteris nipponensis is a cousin of the better known autumn fern, that makes a 2' tall x 3' wide evergreen, deer resistant clump with foliage that is shorter and broader than Dryopteris erythrosora. The elegant, foliage texture makes this a favorite of garden visitors, who have bugged us to propagate it for years enough, already! The new growth in spring is tinted red for a wonderful contrast.
