Dryopteris pseudomas is a fern from East Asia that performs where light is limited, favouring partial shade to full shade in sheltered spots. It prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soils that are acidic to neutral. Plant it on north, east or west aspects where soil moisture can be retained. It is commonly used in shade gardens, woodland planting and as a ground cover.
