tarawera

Pellaea rotundifolia | tarawera, button fern, round-leaved fern

A hardy evergreen fern forming attractive clumps, ideal for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Its arching, pinnate fronds are covered with small, slightly glossy, deep green, round pinnae. Thriving in partial to full shade with organically rich, moist, yet free-draining soil, it requires regular watering in hot weather and occasional pruning of dead growth. It's a popular choice as a houseplant in hanging baskets or ornamental containers.
