Tassel Fern

Contact your local store to check availability

Lustrous shiny leaf fern adds an elegant look to shaded gardens. Particularly beautiful when new fronds emerge stiffly, then droop backwards to form a tassel. Beautiful in masses for groundcover, especially under flowering shrubs. Herbaceous.
