Rare Korean Rock Fern - Polystichum tsussimense - Indoors or Out - 2.5" Pot

Description

FERN A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Unlike mosses they have xylem and phloem (making them vascular plants). They have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants. Ferns do not have either seeds or flowers (they reproduce via spores). Korean Rock Fern USDA Zone: 6-9 Korean Rock Fern is a versatile, well-behaved little evergreen species. It forms a low mound of dark green fronds with black stems and delicate dark veining through the leaflets. New leaves have a purplish cast. In cold regions this may be grown in a container and wintered indoors. Excellent for edging in the woodland, or in the shady rock garden. Clumps may be divided after 4 to 5 years, in early spring. Trim off any tired looking fronds in spring, and they will soon be replaced by new ones. Tolerates summer heat and humidity. Indoors grow in bright, indirect light, and keep evenly moist, not wet or dry.
