Log Fern displays an appealing foliage consisting of elongated, lush green fronds emerging from short creeping rhizomes. This robust hybrid has inherited its vigour from its parent species, capable of thriving in various conditions but with a preference for moist, rich soil. One can find log Fern flourishing on decaying timber in its natural swamp and wet woodland habitats, yet it also shows a surprising tolerance for drier terrains. With proper care, log Fern is an undemanding addition to any shade garden, contributing a structured and textured aesthetic typically reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm).
