Adiantum venustum Dwarf Form



A small form of the species with distinctive drooping fronds (at this stage).

I got it from Aberconwy Nursery and their label says:

"Dainty dwarf form of the Himalayan Maidenhair fern. Triangulae, mid-green fronds on black stalks. 8-10cm. For humus-rich soil in full sun or part shade or shady trough."
