Notes
Rosy maidenhair fern (Adiantum hispidulum) is a fern for naturalized areas, woodland plantings, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to average soil. Young fronds are rose-colored and age to dark green or green-bronze. It forms a small, upright clump, so plant it beneath shade trees among woodland perennials.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Sedge, and Oregon grape.
