Botanical Name: Pellaea rotundifolia

Common Name(s): Button fern, Round-leafed fern

Description:

Native to the woodlands of New Zealand, the Button Fern flaunts many pairs of tiny, delicate, oval-shaped foliage on its fronds, which can grow up to 18″ long.

It is hardier to cold climates (but not freezing) and reduced moisture levels than other fern species, so it’s essential to ensure the soil drains before watering.


The Button Fern is a great choice for shaded windowsills or bathrooms, both being known for its compact and delicate traits.
