Cheilanthes argentea (Silver Cloak Fern)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10, at least 5" tall Origin: China, Japan

Open House/Web-Only! This dwarf fern is one of our most treasured members of the family...the fern family. I observed the dryland sun fern, Cheilanthes argentea growing in both mainland China and Taiwan, native to rock outcrops, stone walls, and other such calcareous sites. The top of the star-shaped leaf is a rich green, but underneath (ok...you can look now) is a thick silvery white coating like that stuff we put on tin roofs to prevent leaks...AWESOME! This cute little deer-resistant dryland lover is a great choice for the rock garden, but good drainage is essential for success. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
