There are not many ferns in the fern world which offer variegation to the frond. THis fern has attractive green fronds with pale central stripes running along the length of each leaflet. It is very hardy but can take a little while to produce new growth sometimes as late as June, when new growth is starting to appear it is a wise idea to protect it from snails and slugs. Originating in Asia it is a must have for the fern enthusiast.
