Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rare, sweet, neat evergreen fern from the JC Raulston Collection...a cute 6” tall and slowly expanding on rhizomes, creeping over the soil surface forming a luxurious dense carpet of leaves but never overwhelming its neighbors. More tolerant of heat and dry than most ferns, part sun to light shade, enjoys moisture. Fronds with benefits!
