Dwarf Coastal Maidenhair Fern
Adiantum aleuticum var. subpumilum
Overview
The Dwarf Coastal Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum aleuticum var. subpumilum) is a low-growing, evergreen fern found near the coast from Northern California to Alaska. The small, leathery fronds form a fan-shape from a black, branching rhizome. The individual leaflets are translucent and fragile, giving the entire fern an almost transparent look. With its mounding habit, the Dwarf Coastal Maidenhair Fern is perfect for adding a dense ground cover to rock gardens, woodland gardens, and native planting beds. It does best in filtered light and prefers rich, moist soils.
