| Landscape | Well-suited to use in any moist, shady situation. Also useful in tubs or mixed containers, combining beautifully with bolder-leafed plants, such as Hostas or Hellebores. |

| Leaf Description | Fronds are long and arching but very delicate and skeletal in appearance despite their large size. |
