A large, coarse but handsome fern, which develops a slowly spreading clump. Fronds are erect or arching, dark green and leathery, with purple-black stipes. Great in a tub. Likes an annual application of lime.
Very hardy vigourously creeping native fern with erect fronds to 2m tall. Very easily grown in a moist position in filtered sun. Will tolerate a more exposed position if well watered.
