The frond tips are crested and keep lengthening through the season until they look like a fringed tassel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a dense, cascading mound of dark green about 18 to 24 inches tall. The fine, crisscrossed texture is a great contrast to broad-leaved shade plants like hostas and coral bells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow, dark green fronds about 18 to 24 inches long carry paired leaflets that cross each other in an X pattern along the stem, forming a lattice or braided look. The leaflet ends and the frond tips are crested into small forked tufts, and the frond tips lengthen into fringe-like tassels by late summer. Fronds arch outward from the crown to create a dense, cascading mound 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. In summer the plant is a full, textured dome of deep green crosshatched fronds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fern needs moist shade, so it belongs in a woodland or north-side bed with hostas rather than in the sunny lavender garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist.
