Is this a macho plant or what? This remnant from England's Victorian fern craze makes a superb garden specimen to 30" tall x 30" wide. The broad, semi-evergreen, rich green fronds boast petticoats on the end of each pinnae and the end of each frond. Imagine a king with that many petticoats and without a wife...hmmm. Regardless, D. 'The King' is a great specimen plant for that prized spot in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
