Cheilanthes lanosa - Hairy Lip Fern

Hardy, evergreen, height to 20cm.

This species is a greener colour and enjoys the same conditions, well drained soils in sun/light shade, with a long, cool, root run. Not fussy about soil type, as long as it isn't too wet, especially in winter.

Further information:
This fern is a native of the east and midwestern part of the USA.
