Asplenium is a diverse genus of ferns that includes many popular varieties used in New Zealand gardens. From native species like Asplenium bulbiferum and Asplenium oblongifolium to bold architectural types like Asplenium nidus-avis, these ferns thrive in shaded, sheltered environments. With upright or arching fronds and varying textures, Asplenium ferns are perfect for underplanting, native gardens, or modern landscaping.
