Davallia tyermanii -White Hare's Foot Fern 9cm pot £4.95
Semi-evergreen- Height 25cm
This is a very unusual fern which is of borderline hardiness in the warmer parts of the country. It will be at it's best indoors, in a container or as an eye catching indoor hanging basket (put outside when weather warms up!
It spreads by using the white hairy rhizomes (giving the common name) eventually forming a dense colony. The hairy rhizomes cover the surface giving a very eery feel!
If you are in a warm enough area then these will look fabulous by a stream, wall or rockery.
