Common Name: Japanese Beech Fern 

Thelypteris decursive-pinnata (syn. Phegopteris decursive-pinnata)

Phegopteris decursive-pinnata, commonly known as the Japanese Beech Fern, adds a graceful, refined texture to the shade garden with its upright and arching lance-shaped fronds of a vibrant, bright green hue. This versatile, hardy deciduous perennial thrives beautifully in partial to full shade and moist, organic, well-drained soils, quickly forming a lush, non-invasive groundcover blanket through short runners that effortlessly suppresses unwanted weeds under mature trees and shrubs while naturally resisting heavy deer and rabbit pressure.

Enhance your woodland display by pairing this variety with excellent companion perennials like the striking Carex 'Ice Dance' Variegated Sedge, the vibrant fronds of Autumn Fern 'Brilliance', or the dark, dramatic foliage of Astilbe 'Dark Side of the Moon' for contrasting colors and textures.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
