In the Garden {Kangaroo Paw Ferns}

I shared my Kangaroo Paw Ferns with you in an earlier post. Since then, I have moved each to the courtyard, and each has been thriving. With the amount of rain we have had lately, the ferns are "smiling" for sure.

Here's how they look today.

I love the dark green fronds. They are so healthy looking.

Now, let's all hope the tropical system stays away!

Kangaroo Paw Ferns, y'all!

I Adore {Kangaroo Paw Ferns}

I love the early greens of spring. I also love ferns. Ferns work so well in my yard due to long periods of shade.

One of the ferns that I have loved growing over the past few years is a variety called Kangaroo Paw Fern. The large fronds and snake-like root system make for a beautiful presentation.

I have had the two large ones on my front porch for over three years. I am quite lucky they have winterized well.

I also have several in pots around the garden.

About the Kangaroo Paw Fern:

MICROSORUM DIVERSIFOLIUM

Kangaroo Ferns, native to Australia and and some parts of New Zealand, are epiphyticevergreens with firm leathery fronds that are oddly shaped and vary in size. It’s an example of a rhizomatous fern. The Kangaroo Fern only grows to be about a foot tall but can spread out to 2-3 feet in width.  I really like how different this easy care plant is and think it looks very attractive in a hanging basket or set on a table in a pretty pot.
