Adiantum capillus-veneris 'Rock Springs' (Southern Maidenhair Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-9, at least 12" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! (coll. #A2T-034) This form of the wonderful southern maidenhair fern, Adiantum capillus-veneris, comes from spores that we collected in 2000 in the Edwards Plateau region of TX near the town of Rock Springs. Not that you are interested, but we were stopped three times by border patrol agents who searched our backpacks for illegal aliens...glad I carried a small backpack. Plantsman Scott Ogden showed us this population growing along a small creek in a very alkaline soil. Our 5-year-old clump is 1' tall x 2' wide and, as you can imagine, quite heat tolerant. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
