Drynaria quercifolia ‘Variegated Oak-Leaf Fern’ - Drynaria are called ‘oak-leaf’ ferns because of their oak-leaf shaped, dry and stiff shield or basket fronds at the base of the foliage fronds which serve a multi purpose of protecting the creeping rhizomes and catching moisture and leaf litter which decompose to feed the fern. The foliage fronds are evergreen in this species and are quite showy, up to 30 inches long or longer, deeply lobbed with a glossy green appearance.

This form also has beautiful white variegation on the fronds making it one of the most striking of all variegated ferns. Variegation in ferns is quite unusual and often disappointingly pale or vague. This is certainly an exception. A choice collector item.
