Woodwardia unigemmata | Jeweled Chain Fern

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Woodwardia unigemmata is an evergreen fern with long, arching, finely divided fronds. New fronds emerge a rich red, age through rusty tones, and finally mature to glossy green. The fronds can grow to impressive length and often drape over banks, rocks, or the edges of shaded borders, giving a lush, cascading presence in woodland or moist garden settings.

Native to moist, mountainous regions of Asia, Woodwardia unigemmata is adapted to high rainfall and shelter. Its reproductive season runs from summer into early autumn, when rows of sori develop on the undersides of mature fronds and small bulbils form near the tips, allowing it to slowly extend into graceful colonies.
