Description

Asplenium bulbiferum, commonly known as Mother Fern, is a stunning and unique addition to any shady garden. This lush fern features glossy, pale green fronds that arch gracefully, creating a soft, elegant texture in your landscape. Its distinctive ability to produce small “baby plants” or bulbils along its fronds sets it apart, earning it the nicknames Hen and Chicken Fern and Mother Spleenwort. Ideal for adding a touch of greenery to low-light areas, Mother Fern thrives in higher humidity, which helps keep its delicate leaf edges from browning. Perfect for enhancing garden aesthetics or as an eye-catching houseplant.
