Image of Fern (Fishbone Water)

Evergreen tufted fern with erect fronds (0.7m x 0.5m) from all states of Australia except WA. Light green pinnate fronds. Older specimens develop a trunk. Useful as a groundcover or in association with a water feature. Needs a shaded position with moist well-composted soil. Additional irrigation above natural rainfall may be required if growing conditions do not replicate the plant’s natural occurrence.
