Polypodium vulgare 'Uulong Island' (Common Polypody)

Light ShadeZone: 5-8 6" tall Origin: Korea

Web-Only! (aka: P. vulgare A1K-137) There are few introductions that excite us as much as this new introduction of Polypodium vulgare. I had tried for years to grow the commonly sold European form with no luck and had given up until I found this growing near the village of Nari on the Korean island of Uulong. From spores, we now have a stunning 6" tall x 18" wide evergreen patch in 7 years. The medium green leaves, which look as good in January as they do in June, form a thick patch above the slowly-spreading rhizomes. This is a fantastic fern that needs to be grown in all woodland gardens. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
