Crisped Narrow Hybrid Golden-scaled Male Fern (Dryopteris complexa 'Stableri Crisped')
Crisped Narrow Hybrid Golden-scaled Male Fern (Dryopteris complexa 'Stableri Crisped')
This fern has the same four inch wide fronds of its namesake 'Stableri' but with each pinnule delicately crinkled. There is some slight variation as to the degree of crisping making it a bit difficult to determine whether to label plants as straight 'Stableri' or 'Stableri Crisped' however they are all excellent forms, and make for great accents or trellis for floppy companion plants. We received this fern from Holland under the name 'Angustata Crispata' which does not appear in any of the literature published prior to 1959, and is therefore an incorrect nomenclature. See comment about the name under Dryopteris x complexa 'Stableri' listing.
