Description
Necklace Fern is a distinctive native climbing fern renowned for its delicate fronds and unique climbing habit that creates beautiful displays in Australian gardens. This attractive species produces small, fan-shaped leaflets arranged along wiry stems that climb and scramble over rocks and other surfaces, creating the distinctive “necklace” appearance that gives it its common name. The small, bright green fronds provide attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that maintains year-round appeal in shaded positions. Hardy and adaptable once established, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils with good organic content and partial to full shade positions with protection from direct sunlight. Perfect for shaded gardens, rockeries, and areas where native climbing ferns with unique growth habits create interesting landscape features.
