Description of the plant
The smaller plant = the longer name it appears… This variety of male fern has vera narrow leaves giving the plant an airy look. The leaves are mid green with crested pinnae and frond tips. Excellent for combination with dwarf conifers. The plant is fully hardy to about -30°C. Cut off all last-year’s leaves in the spring to encourage new growths.
