Blechnum wattsii - Hard Water Fern
Blechnum wattsii – Hard Water Fern

With upright leathery foliage, Blechnum wattsii is commonly found in shaded areas along creeks  and in damp areas.

This is an easy to grow fern and makes a good ground cover plant. The new foliage is pink opening to a bronze colour before turning to a deeper green.

This is fern that requires a moist soil and a shaded position to thrive although it will grow in more open and slightly drier positions.
