Asplenium Broad Crest Birds Nest Fern – Asplenium Broad Crest

The Broad Crest Birds Nest Fern is similar to the Australian Birds Nest Fern but with a twisted crest terminally on each leaf. This Birds Nest has a similar growth and location requirement – frost free and ample shade to protect from burning. In the ground deep rich freely draining soil with plenty of mulch. They can also survive on rockeries with shade and moisture provided. This variety may grow to 1.5 meters in width in ideal conditions. Fertilize sparingly to prevent burning – a liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during summer.
