    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Colorful, arching 2’ vase shaped clumps of evergreen (semi evergreen in colder ranges) lacy fronds that unfurl in fiery shades of coppery orange red, this selection being brighter and having longer lasting coloration; red spores on leaf undersides add to the look. Part shade to shade, regular water (takes wet), humus rich soil is a plus. Happy plants will slowly creep on rhizomes. Easy and dependable.
