#A1AG-283 (Perennial Hairy Flowering Fern)
Ferns do the strangest things and anemias are near the top of the strange fern list. This Argentine native makes a delightful small clump to 8" tall x 8" wide.
sensibilis belongs to the group known as "flowering Ferns," from the fertile frond being contracted so as to give it the appearance of an unopened spike of flowers. The fronds are a beautiful fresh green, especially in spring.
It is said the name 'Herb Christopher' was also formerly applied to the flowering fern, Osmunda regalis.
The name of the genus is from the Greek acte, the elder, which these plants resemble as regards the leaves and berries.
