Sword fern is a large evergreen fern with erect leaves forming a crown. It is typically found in coniferous woodlands understory, and prefers moist to seasonally moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, but can tolerate sun. Its fronds can be up to 6’ long. Sword fern provides cover and nesting materials for many species. Browsed by deer, though generally considered deer resistant. Can grow to 6 feet. Benefits wildlife with cover.
