Doodia squarrosa Details

Doodia squarrosa, is an attractive, NZ native fern. Short fronds rise vertically from a central storage root with the foliage being finer than on most other ferns. Older fronds die off as the new, light green-lilac fronds emerge and age to a darker green. The storage root allows the plant to regrow after a cold winter. It typically grows to 30 cm tall and the same wide, performing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in partial to full shade conditions. Doodia squarrosa is commonly used in woodland plantings, shady areas, planted around larger shrubs, or grown indoors in a container.
