Description
Microsorum scolopendrium, the wart or kangaroo fern, (who coins these names?) is a creeping tropical with three to four pairs of pointed pinnae on leathery fronds. These are supported by a creeping grayish rhizome that meanders along the soil’s surface. The spores are in puckers on the fronds’ undersides and show on the surface as a series of little raised bumps (warts!). Here is a foot tall fern that serves well as a dense cover in the warm well lit areas of Zones 9
Produced year-round.
