The ‘Lepidota Cristata’ is a delightful semi-evergreen fern that features upright-arching deep green fronds. The triangular fronds have finely-divided segments which makes this the perfect choice for adding texture to a border. This fern is shade-tolerant so it can be used to brighten up a shady area of the garden; if you want a planting partner then it sits perfectly with the variegated colours of the Arachnoides aristata variegata.
