Description
The 'Crissie' Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium antiquum 'Crissie') stands out for its distinctive fronds, which have unique, frilly, and slightly curled ends, creating a striking, scalloped appearance unlike typical Bird's Nest Ferns. This makes 'Crissie' a favourite for adding a lush, tropical feel to indoor spaces or shaded areas in Perth’s climate. Its vibrant green foliage grows in a rosette shape, providing a bold, textural element that suits bright, indirect light. The compact size of this cultivar makes it particularly well-suited for pots or smaller garden beds.
Best grown in a well-draining, organic-rich soil mix, 'Crissie' thrives with regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist without becoming soggy. The fern will reach around 60 cm tall and wide when mature, providing year-round visual appeal due to its evergreen nature. Ideal for indoors or shaded outdoor spots, 'Crissie' brings a unique and elegant touch to spaces, softening them with its dense, leafy fronds that curl delicately at the ends.
