Blechnum penna-marina

Plant Size And Growth – Grows 15cm Tall x 1m Wide

This miniature fern grows to just 10–15 cm in height but spreads steadily to over a metre wide. Its delicate fronds create a finely textured carpet that fills gaps between pavers or along garden edges. Over time, it develops a soft and natural look, particularly when mass planted in damp, shaded environments.
