Blechnum gibbum ‘Silver Lady’

The Dwarf Tree Fern is an elegant fern species native to the islands of the South Pacific, particularly in Fiji and New Caledonia. This so-called “tree fern” slowly develops a trunk which grows to reach up to four feet in height. Its short stature, along with its compact canopy of fronds, makes this fern a wonderful accent in the garden, on the patio, or indoors as a dramatic houseplant.

Attractive foliage is a bright green color with undulating edges, that make an upward pointing rosette atop the plant’s dark trunk. Dwarf Tree Ferns are moderately low-maintenance and appreciate part or full shade and consistent moisture. Plants are frost sensitive, so if you live in a cold-winter climate, we recommend keeping this one in a container.

Cold hardy to USDA zone 10a, or to approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
