An all year round winner
Posted by Adam the Gardener on 1st Aug 2014
This fern is a stunner. It starts in the spring/early summer with copper red fronds which slowly change to pale deep green then pale green. Mine has 3 years of leaves on and still looks good. Good in pots.Mine is in permanent shade and does well.
