Asplenium scolopendrium

Asplenium scolopendrium 'Angustifolia'

Ruffled Harts Tongue Fern

Asplenium scolopendrium 'Undulata'

Udulating Harts Tongue Fern

 Another lovely variety of Hart’s Tongue fern. This European selection forms a nice clump of evergreen, horizontal 'tongues'. This one is similar to the species but the fronds have gentle waves, or undulations, along the frond. The interesting wavy foliage makes a very attractive ground cover when planted en masse. Sharp drainage and a near neutral pH required. Very attractive and easy to grow. Fits in well with both ornamental and natural plantings. Syn: Phyllitis scolopendrium 'Undulata'

Asplenium platyneuron

Ebony Spleenwort Fern

 A dwarf that's perfect in rock crevices. Looks something like a smaller, more delicate version of Christmas or sword fern. The fertile fronds grow very erect, and have a smooth, glossy red-brown stem while the sterile fronds are shorter and more horizontal. A small to medium sized fern, often evergreen. This fern can be seen on some of the older brick walls in the historic Mt. Vernon estate in VA.
