Southern Shield Fern (Thelypteris kunthii) is a long-lived perennial evergreen that grows to approximately 3-4 feet tall. This versatile plant thrives in loam, lime rock, or sandy soil that remains moist but not flooded. Its adaptable nature allows it to flourish in a range of soil pH levels, often calcareous.
The Southern Shield Fern prefers full to part shade, making it an excellent choice for creating lush groundcover in shaded areas of your garden. Its evergreen nature ensures year-round greenery, adding a touch of natural beauty to your outdoor space.
