Parsley Male Fern is a crested compact native deciduous fern with arching fronds and crinkled leaflets resembling parsley. Thrives in rich, moist, acidic soils with some shade. Tolerates drought once established.
*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
