Blechnum spicant

Transform your shady spots into lush green sanctuaries with this gorgeous evergreen fern! Deer Fern creates the most beautiful, layered look with its distinctive fertile fronds standing tall above the sterile ones. It's like having your own personal Pacific Northwest forest right at home. Thrives in moist, shaded areas where other plants struggle, making it perfect for those tricky spots under trees or on the north side of your house. Deer resistant (hence the name!) and virtually indestructible once established.
