    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    We got this from Plant Delights via Hans Hansen's Sichuan collection from 3500’; it has been a vigorous clump for us...about 12" tall and filling out to about two feet wide with congested, fine textured, narrow ribbon like 5 fingered, evergreen fronds. You have to look at this closely to see that it is indeed a fern! It looks like it should be under glass but is actually quite hardy. Recommendation is for bright shade with good drainage. Ours has been happy with regular water, but can be dry between waterings.
