Asplenium 'Cristatum'

An evergreen hardy fern with compact, clumping and slow growing foliage. Asplenium scolopendrium 'Cristatum', otherwise known as Crested hart's tongue fern, produces a slightly different shape to its type series- a domed clump, rather than a rosette-like shape. Its foliage is light-mid green in colour, with broad, fanned leaves that have a crimped appearance at the end of the frond. This plant is well suited to any shaded areas, such as borders, ground cover or underplanting.

Plant in moist, well drained soil. Keep in partial or full shade. Prefers a humus-rich, alkaline soil. Tolerant of a small amount of sun. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid scorching.
