Bulbet Fern


Cystopteris bulbifera
Dryopteridaceae

Bulblet fern fronds are long and narrow, tapering very gradually to the tip. They inhabit shaded limestone-rich cliffs & outcroppings. Bulblet Fern gets its name from the green bulblets that form on the underside of the leaves. The bulblets drop off and grow into new ferns which will mature to 12-30 inches in height.
