(syn: O. japonicum HH03CH111) We have long treasured this woodland fern, but found it very slow to build up enough to offer. This Hans Hansen spore collection from Ping Wu, China, has been much more vigorous than normal for this species. The deciduous fronds arise in spring from a slowly creeping rhizome that makes a 3' wide clump in 3 years. Each frond resembles an extraordinarily lacy rabbit's foot fern...the most exquisite green lace that you can imagine. In the wild it grows on rocky cliffs to 14,000', but for us has been very happy in our woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
