Oleandra wallichii SEH#

A rarely cultivated deciduous fern which spreads via long aboveground rhizomes. The bright green fronds are softly hairy and up to one foot in length. These long-lanceolate fronds have entire (not dissected or “fern-like”) margins that are strongly undulate, very attractive. A stunning groundcover for mild regions. Grow it in a hanging moss-lined basket so that the rhizomes pop out through the entire basket. Native from the eastern Himalaya into China and south into Thailand where this species grows on damp rock faces and cliffs or as an epiphyte. A collection from SE Asia.
