Crytomium caryotideum

Gerbes, a part of the Dillons/Kroger grocery chain, sells plants every spring. This year we saw something that didn't look like a fern but was marked by the Latin name at the head of the posting and the common name "Fishtail Holly Fern". Found nothing on either name in the Hortiplex data base. Found only nursery listings in a Google.com search. Apparently it grows zones 6 - 9. But no good horticultural information. Erika searched Google.de and came up with only 2 matches, one in Korean and one in Japanese! (It is apparently native to SE Asia.) The label also says that it comes from Henry's Plant Farm aka Pacific Plant Farm Inc. in Snohomish WA. Does anyone have anything helpful to say? The climates of Snohomish and mid-MO could hardly be more different; but: Will it grow here?
