Pteris vittata 'Benzilan' (Chinese Table Fern)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10, at least 36" tall Origin: China

Open House/Web-Only! (coll. # A1C-202C) This amazing fern was collected on our 1996 China trip in the town of Benzilan (which is English for home of the hotel from hell). Growing on a dry rocky cliff, it was spindly and less than 1' tall, but in our garden, the fern has made a stunning deciduous clump to 4' wide x 3' tall. Each deer-resistant dark green frond boasts stunning, simple leaflets on a magnificent clump. Pteris vittata will come up from spores that land in inhospitable places such as rock walls and other limestone outcrops. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
