Pteris cretica 'Mayi'



A selected form of the species with crested tips to the white-marked fronds. It has grown vigorously planted in the Hedychium house. I bought it at a garden centre in 2014, where it was being sold as a hardy fern for the garden.

The earliest reference I can find comes from John G. Baker in 1892 who writes:

"P. Mayi, Hort. is a crested variegated form "(of P. cretica).
