Relatively new on the scene, this our collection from several years ago when surprised to see what was thought to be A. jordanii, but remaining evergreen through summer. We are more then happy to put a name on it now. Relatively slow spreader, to about 3' in 5 years and about a foot in height with airy fronds of spring green foliage subtended by dark stems. This a great addition to the dry shade garden. USDA Zone 7.

Was first collected as an herbarium collection 100 years ago, but not introduced to the garden world until very recently. This evergreen maidenhair fern is low growing and seems to have fairly wide leaflets. This is perhaps the first mail order offering ever!
