White Rabbit’s Foot Fern (Davallia tyermanii)
New fern, extended description coming soon!
This petit Rabbit Foot’s Fern is low growing, with fuzzy white rhizomes that love to wrap around the edges of containers and hanging baskets. Like many other Davallia species, it is somewhat drought tolerant since it can store water and nutrients in its thick surface dwelling rhizomes and doesn’t mind drying out in between waterings. Triangular fronds emerge along the length of the rhizomes.
