Asplenium bulbiferum is a fern species native to New Zealand. It grows 24-36″ high and about as wide. It thrives in many locations including areas with deep shade to partial sunlight. And its fronds can also be eaten. It supplements reproduction beyond propagation by spores by growing small bulbils on top of its fronds which fall off to develop new ferns in moist soil below. For easy-care, low maintenance, evergreen plant that works well in borders and woodland settings, this is a great fern to consider.
