Description
Asplenium scolopendrium, commonly known as Hart's tongue fern, is an evergreen fern that is prized for its striking appearance and low-maintenance nature. The fern features long, narrow, undivided fronds that are a glossy, dark green color. The fronds grow from a central rosette and can reach a length of up to 60 cm. The plant does not produce flowers or seeds, but reproduces by spores that develop on the underside of the fronds. Hart's tongue fern is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, rock gardens, and shady borders. The fern is low-maintenance and relatively pest and disease-resistant. It can be propagated by division in the spring.
