Microlepia strigosa f. crispa (Rigid Lace Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10, possibly colder 18" tall Origin: Japan

(aka: Dennstaedtia strigosa) The more we grow the Japanese Microlepia strigosa, the more we like it. M. strigosa forma crispa is a compact form with congested green pinnae...something you'd only expect from a fancy Italian restaurant. Each 18" tall x 2' wide clump makes an attractive, lacy specimen. Above 10 degrees F, the foliage stays evergreen but below that, it is tardily deciduous. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
