Astrolepis (Star-scaled Cloak Fern, Scaly Cloak Fern, Jimmy Fern)

Although Astrolepis fronds like sun and can tolerate heat, the roots prefer to be in shade such as under a rock or in a crack in a boulder, so siting this fern properly is important to its survival. Try tucking Astrolepis ferns into a stone wall or grow them in a rock garden. Astrolepis will also do well in a container on the patio as long as the soil is well-drained and temperatures remain above the low 20's F.
