Adiantum raddianum 'Briljantelse'



Delicate small angular pinnules, it can grow into a large plant.
This has grown well this year, but its corner of the conservatory is getting rather shaded, so I have moved it outside into the greenhouse to get a bit more light and it seems to be appreciating the change. Winter cold should see it back in the warm, but for the moment I am not quite sure where.
All of the Adiantum are beautiful foliage plants but the old fronds tend to die off as the new fronds are emerging. If I was organised, I would take them off before the new growth matured, but I'm not, so they have to be picked out individually during the summer, which is tiresome.

The North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox says:

"foliage has pinkish to violet new growth that matures to green, dense habit"
