Davallia tyermanii, or White Rabbit’s Foot Fern, is a creeping evergreen fern that produces fuzzy white rhizomes that grow close to the surface. Forms a dense, irregularly shaped mound over time. Ferns thrive in neutral to acidic, loose, richly organic soil which is moist but not waterlogged. Prefers bright, filtered sunlight and is excellent as a houseplant or in a seasonal container.
