Evergreen. Eventual height to 60cm. Hardy in milder areas (USDA zone 7)

A glorious distinctive fern, hardy in most parts of the British Isles and Ireland, also makes a tremendous house plant for cooler areas. Sometimes erroneously offered as A. aristata 'Variagata', this naturally variagated species will make an impact in anyone's garden!
