Description
Thelypteris kunthii (Southern Shield Fern)
Southern Shield Fern is a vigorous, low-maintenance fern that thrives in moist, shady areas. Its bright green, lacy fronds add a soft, woodland charm to the landscape, arching gracefully and forming natural clumps over time.
Ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, and erosion control, it spreads gently by rhizomes and can tolerate heat, humidity, and short dry periods once established. A native beauty that brings year-round texture with minimal care.
