Adiantum aleuticum 'Subpumilum', Dwarf Western Maidenhair Fern humus-rich soil Visitors see it and wantThis little gem is a lucky find when available. It's semi evergreen to deciduous (depending on conditions) and has shiny, black, wiry stalks holding pinnately divided fronds in a flat, fan shaped arrangement.
