Adiantum raddianum 'Ultragracillimum'



A very fine leaved selection of the species that has appeared on the market as a hardy fern (very unlikely). It seems to have been mass produced and sold by Genesis Marketing and has also attracted the cultivar name 'Misty Cloud'.
In the greenhouse it has been vigorous and distinctive.

Seiont Nursery says:

"This is a selection of the widely grown Pacific Maidenhair with minute leaflets, so minute that the plant has a ‘misty’ cloudlike appearance. The young growth is a lovely salmon-pink.."
