Dryopteris dilatata Crispa Whiteside - Broad Buckler Fern

Among the ferns of the temperate zones of the world, the male fern is certainly the most widespread and, it must be said, one of the easiest to cultivate. They come in a variety of forms, sometimes deciduous, sometimes evergreen, but always interesting.

In nature, this fern grows in the far north and in the mountains, between rocks and preferably in the sun. In this variety, the fronds are curled like parsley at their tips and can be just as spectacular as the species.
