A small creeping fern from Chile where it experiences temperatures below freezing. I have it in a cold greenhouse at present but
I am hoping to try it outside eventually. I bought it from Edulis and the label says: "Attractive creeping fern from South America. Needs shade but not too wet. Good subject for containers." In 2013 Patagonian Plants said: "Very elegant herbaceous plant, which forms small island-like bundles of 15 - 40cm high. New sprouts are found within the underground rhizomes near the surface. The foliage is divided into small finn-like leaves. The fronds are yellowish to light green in color and can grow to 15 to 40cm. Adiantum chilense has a hard black colored stem. The kidney-shaped spores can be found on the edges and lower surface of the fronds." |
