Virginia Blue Rabbit's Foot Fern
Polypodium pseudoaureum 'Virginia Blue'
SKU
09765
A beautiful and dramatic fern. Silvery blue fronds sprout golden-orange furry rhizomes that will circle in baskets or crawl along the soil in the garden, slowly creating a lush mound. Best foliage color in deep to dappled shade, and stunning when featured in contrast to plants with dark green leaves.
