This particularly vigorous form of the little-known walking maidenhair fern was shared by plantsman Roy Works, after we admired it in his Tampa, Florida garden. Although it emerges late after a hard winter, our plants have survived 7 degrees F, to form a 5' wide patch in 5 years. The 1.5" wide x 2' long arching fronds, which emerge pink in spring, root into the ground at the tips forming a new plant. Moist soils result in faster growth, but our plants are quite happy in a fairly dry, sandy soil. Adiantum caudatum is a most unusual plant, sure to get your gardening friends talking.
