Asplenium bulbiferum (Mother Fern) - This fern gets to about 2 feet tall by 3 to 4 feet wide with arching fronds with light green leaves and black stems. The leaflets are finely cut two to three times. It is called the Mother Fern because it produces plantlets on its leaves which drop off and start growing into new plants. It is susceptible to snail and slug attacks. It loves the shade and ample water. Hardy to 26 ° F.
This information about Asplenium bulbiferum displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
