Description
This is a beautiful fern which is completely different to any other; the pinnate fronds are broadly serrated at their edges and some pinnae are waved; the unique structure of this fern makes it a great choice for adding texture to a bed or border. The fronds are leathery to the touch and mid-green in colour; we love this planted alongside the ‘Asplenium scolopendrium Angustifolia’ as the two plants are of a similar size and both have leathery fronds, but they offer different colours. This fern is semi-evergreen and it requires a sheltered position to retain the most leaves throughout winter.
