The petticoat uniformed male fern gives a new meaning to the expression "fern in drag"...you'll have to buy this simply for the name. From mountainous woodlands comes this easy-to-grow Asian native, which forms a medium-sized tight clump of 2' long, erect, dark evergreen fronds. The tip of each pinnae (leaflet) is, of course, a tiny petticoat. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
