Arachniodes davalliaeformis Angelica and continuing sporadically into October(aka: Arachniodes pseudoaristata) Arachniodes davalliaeformis is a little known evergreen fern that hails from the southern part of the Japanese islands where it forms a clump of upright 2' long stipes ending in stiff triangular fronds. The dark green foliage on our 15 year old clump feels like it is made from shredded hard plastic a far cry from what we typically think of as a fern. I'd like to see a slug try and take a bite out of this one!
