Polystichum munitum
western sword fern
The versatile western sword fern is native from California to Alaska. Excellent for shady beds, along walls, large scale groundcover and mixed woodland plantings. Best with humusy soil and regular water, but drought tolerant once established. Actually quite adaptable and deer resistant.
