    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The choice 'Cristata' form of this dwarf little New Zealand Deer Fern relative. We received our start of this little jewel from Bovees Nursery and have been thrilled with how it has done in our shade garden. Dense mats of tight little evergreen fronds crested at the ends. What's not to like about this?
