Lastreopsis microsora subsp. pentangularis, Creeping Shield Fern variegated introduced by Mike DirrA slow spreading, sometimes colonizing fern from New Zealand identifiable by its soft triangular, pinnate fronds which emerge from creeping rhizomes. Give this gray green fern some room to spread under shade providers in damp, rich, well drained soil. It would naturally occur in rainforest conditions or sheltered, shady groves of Eucalyptus. Beautiful landscaping specimen when installed to slowly colonize as a ground cover underneath shrubs and trees.
