Fern - Deer, Blechnum Spicant, is a hardy evergreen fern. The fronds are glossy, dark green and form a rosette. It requires a shaded growing area and a well-drained, acid soil high in organic matter. The plant is native to North America. Deer Fern is a beautiful and charming fern with fronds that have two strikingly different forms. The outer skirt of the frond is tapered at both ends. The central "fertile" fronds are stiffly erect. It creates an interesting effect and grows best with partial shade and regular moisture.
