Button Fern
Pellaea rotundifolia
SKU

An eye-catching New Zealand native that will grow well indoors with little care. A great houseplant for a table accent or in a hanging basket to show off it's cascading, leathery, button-shaped leaflets. Unlike most ferns, this plant will tolerate fairly dry conditions. Evergreen.
