- Robust, glossy, dark green fronds that provide lush texture year‑round.
- Forms dense clumps 3–4 ft. tall and 3–6 ft. wide, creating a bold evergreen presence.

- Deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant, waterwise, and excellent for erosion control.
Western Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum) is one of the most reliable and versatile evergreen ferns for shaded landscapes. Its long, arching, glossy fronds form vigorous clumps that bring structure, texture, and year‑round greenery to woodland gardens, borders, and moist shaded beds. This hardy North American native thrives in cool, shady environments but also adapts to warmer, drier climates where fronds become more compact. With excellent resistance to deer and rabbits and an easy‑care nature, Western Sword Fern is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a durable, architectural fern that enhances both naturalistic and formal landscapes.
