    Zn 9. New foliage red maturing to green.

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Deer fern has two types of fronds, vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative fronds form an attractive, evergreen rosette of broadly spreading, glossy fronds that hug the ground. Later in the season a set of finer textured, vertical, spore-bearing fronds arise from the centre of this rosette. The new leaves are bright reddish.
