Another new one for the nursery, coming in 2013.
Cheilanthes Lanosa
Also known as the Hairly Lipfern (great name!), this is a soft-textured fern
with green leaflets along a brown stem.
It's ideal for rock walls and in shady stone troughs. It's equally at home in fairly well-drained garden soil and in containers.
It's not a huge plant at 30 cm high to 40 cm wide... perfect for those small
places.
It comes from the US, Pennsylvania to New Mexico... and would look lovely in
our UK gardens!
An added bonus is that it's also deer resistant, great for round here!
