Polystichum x dycei
Polystichum x dycei is an intriguing hybrid fern with large, dark green, shiny, evergreen fronds.
The exuberant evergreen fronds of Polystichum x dycei are slightly arching and a dark shiny green reaching 3 to 4 feet long at maturity. Each frond has one or occasionally more bulbils at the tips that will produce a new plant when pressed into the soil. A hybrid between the Australian P. proliferum and the Asian-American P. braunii.
