This is a wonderfully compact fern with so much to offer; the fronds are mid-green in colour, but with silvery-white scales, giving this plant a lustrous appearance. The highly decorative fronds are made up of binnate pinnae that have holly-like tips. This is a tufted fern that forms a neat mound when mature. With this being an evergreen it provides colour all year round; it works really well in a rock garden or as part of a naturalistic planting scheme.
