Description

Dryopteris filix-mas 'Linearis Polydactyla' is an unusual and extremely attractive cultivar of the native Male Fern with deeply dissected foliage quite unlike the form of the type species. The name means Linear Many-Fingered and it is an apt description of this extraordinary and very beautiful cultivar with its airy light foliage.

Highly-recommended.
