Plant of the Day

Saturday 31 July 2021

The evergreen fern Asplenium scolopendrium (hart's-tongue fern) forms a rosette of arching, shiny, green, strap-shaped fronds with undulating margins. There are a wide range is cultivars with different margins or divisions to the fronds. The spores are distinctly arranged in transverse stripes beneath the fronds. These ferns are ideal for a shady location.
