    Green fronds with white undersides.

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    A fern that loves sunny dry places. From the desert southwest comes these luxurious clumps gray-sage-green leaves with felty, orange undersides. To 1-2 ft tall eventually and evergreen to semi-evergreen. Full sun to dappled shade with excellent drainage and lean, gritty soil. Best placed where air circulation is good and the roots can remain cool, perhaps in a rock garden. Drought tolerant but enjoys occasional summer water. Cold hardy from 0F, USDA zone 7.

    This is a dryland fern which is frequently found in rock crevices or rubble where it has excellent drainage and good air circulation and its roots are cool despite the fronds being held out in the sun. Native to the SW, this wants to be in a rockery or rock garden here. Deer/rabbit proof.
