Asplenium Formosum Var. Carolinum

Asplenium formosum var. carolinum is a lesser-known fern species that thrives in shaded, moist environments. Native to the southeastern United States, it is often found in forest understories and along stream banks. This variety is distinguished by its delicate, lance-shaped fronds that display a subtle variegation of green and silver. While not as popular as other ferns, it holds ecological significance for local wildlife and soil stabilization. Its unique appearance and hardy nature make it a valuable addition to native plant gardens.
