Dryopteris x australis is a very rare East Coast American native...a naturally-occurring hybrid between Dryopteris x celsa and Dryopteris ludoviciana. The growth habit is dramatically upright with large, coarse, dark green, semi-evergreen fronds...reminiscent of a giant Christmas fern plugged into an electrical outlet! This is a very structural, deer-resistant fern for the moist woodland garden, eventually making a clump 4'+ tall x 2' wide. Although Dryopteris x australis is very tolerant of dry sites, a nice damp piece of ground will produce really spectacular results. Due to its sterility, propagation is limited to divisions. Our clonal offering was collected in 1982 by the late Dr. Larry Mellichamp, adjacent to the South Carolina Darlington Raceway, along Swift Creek.

Welcome to Switchplate Depot! I have made custom light wallplates for almost 20 years. I recently made the decision to add offer my craft on Etsy! All of my switchplates and outlet covers are handcrafted by me using a variety of material - fabric, wallpaper, art work etc. The material is decoupaged onto the plate, and then sealed and covered for a nice, durable finish that can be wiped clean, if necessary. These plates do meet code standards for personal home use. Each plate is custom made, after the buyer purchases the item. My plates are plastic or vinyl. These are a GREAT alternative to the much more expensive metal plates. For some patterns, I do not cut out all of the screw holes if they will violate the image. Plates will hang fine with minimum screws. Screws are included. Since I am in the process of uploading my plates to Etsy, you may see blank white plates when you are trying to choose your plate. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL WHITE PLATES REPRESENT THE PLATE YOU WILL RECEIVE AND WILL BE COVERED WITH THE LISTING'S DESIGN. If you want a certain plate OR a certain design - all you have to do is ask! While on my other selling site, I have had other buyers send me their designs for years. Thank you so much! Size of Plates: Single Toggle 2.75 inches X 4.50 inches Double Toggle 4.88 inches X 4.88 inches Triple Toggle 4.50 inches X 6.50 inches Outlet Cover 2.75 inches X 4.50 inches
