This stately semi-evergreen, clumping fern makes a wonderful addition to the shady garden border or to combination pots on a heavily shaded porch, deck, or patio. Stiff and leathery 2-3' fronds with black stems form a striking upright architectual feature. In open garden areas, Shaggy Shield is semi-evergreen. Under the protection of a porch or deck roof in our area, the plant is generally evergreen.
