InfoThis is a very unusual-looking plant that comes from pycnophylla heritage. It is fertile and will be an interesting plant for the hybridizer. The 3x7 inch leaves are a good deep green with greyish backs and the plant will be on the small side of medium. If you love the look of those fancy rippled bird's nest ferns, this can be a hardy addition to the border with a surprisingly similar look!
