Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This native of the Canary Islands is named for the white fuzzy rhizomes produced by the plant that will travel along the ground and curve over the edge of a pot. Fronds are soft and dark green. Great to use in plantings for colour and texture. More cold hardy than other tropicals and can withstand zone 8 winters (mulch recommended). Mature size of 1 to 2 feet. Excellent and versatile as it can be used in dish gardens, pots, hanging baskets or in landscape settings. Also makes a good houseplant.
A fun fern for hanging baskets or as an indoor plant with dark green glossy foliage & white fuzzy rhizomes that spill over the edge of the pot. Plant in low sun to full shade & well drained soil (avoid overwatering). Zones 8 & higher. Marginal in our area. Height: 6-8”. Evergreen.
