Pellaea viridis McLear Cypella Yet it often becomes shabby

Yet it often becomes shabby by bloom time

Native to all but the six most western US states

is quite different from other cannas in the trade

This is the first in a series of intentional hosta conversions from diploid to tetraploid

The words "refined elegance" come to mind when you grow Borinda angustissima

Pellaea viridis McLear Cypella Yet it often becomes shabby(aka: Cheilanthes viridis) This 2006 Plant Delights JLBG introduction comes from our spore collection from South Africa's Eastern Cape near the town of McLear at 4,200' elevation. Most of the forms of Pellaea viridis that we saw in 2005 only reached 1' tall, but this form topped out at 2' tall. We are uncertain if this was due to growing conditions or genetics. The thick, dark green pinnae adorn the black stipe on this semi evergreen, clumping fern.
