Adiantum capillus-veneris - Venus-Hair Fern

Description

This Central and Southern California native makes an attractive 1' to 1-1/2' mass of medium green fronds held on thin black wiry stems. A fairly easy Maidenhair to grow, it makes a nice addition to a woodland garden with dappled light, where it will slowly spread underground. Also does beautifully planted among rocks or in a wall, as long as it gets water.
