This magnificent looking fern has large and broad, shield-shaped fronds that look like Elk horns. Plantlets grow at the bottom of the shield, resulting in large clumps that you can divide in spring. An Australian native fern that, despite its daunting shape is relatively easy to grow. Best displayed attached to trees or timber backing. Grows best in cool, moist and shady conditions.
