Image of Fern (Rasp)

Evergreen small erect fern spreading by underground stolons (0.2m x 0.4m) from Qld, NSW, Vic, New Zealand & Norfolk Island. Deeply lobed fronds with a rough texture and serrated edge. Bright pink to red new growth aging to dark green. Useful mass planted in a partly shaded position or in association with a water feature. Needs well-composted soil and some shade. Additional irrigation above natural rainfall may be required if growing conditions do not replicate the plant’s natural occurrence.
