A tall form with rather small pinnules. For the moment the name is rather tentative. The true form has pinnules occasionally reduced to triangular splashes of green,
and this one is too large and too uniform. More research is needed, but this is what I am calling it for the moment. It lost a bit of growth in the winter - I don't know if it was due to cold or sulkiness - and became rather lop-sided, but the new growth is filling in the spaces again. The excellent red colour of the new growth should have been done with by October, but it is welcome. World of Ferns wrote online (sometime before 2011, I've lost the date): "This fern has very fine gracefully weeping fronds that have an open, airy appearance to them with teardrop-shaped pinnules. Prefers indirect or filtered light. Grows to 0.6m high x 0.6m wide." |
