Description
___ Polypodium formosanum The “Caterpillar Fern” is a slowly creeping fern native to eastern Asia where it grows epiphytically in trees and on rocks. The fronds are semi-deciduous (in colder climates) and up to a foot or so in length. The new growth emerges a pale blue-green and the smooth-edged pinnae (leaflets) have undulate margins. The creeping stem is green and looks rather like a smooth caterpillar, thus the common name. Great in a hanging basket where it will eventually completely cover the entire basket. A stunning foliage plant with a great texture and striking appearance. These are divisions of a plant collected wild in Taiwan. Our first offering. ((+20?) RSBG Gallon-size plants for $39.00
