It is evergreen, but looks best if you trim old or damaged fronds in the spring before new growth appears. Vancouveria hexandra or V. planipetala also do quite well in dry shade. This is the hexandra, in case you are not familiar with it. The planipetala is a bit darker, glossier and (for me) more evergreen. |
