Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Asplenium bulbiferum
Height: 0.75m;  Spread: 0.75m
Hen and chicken fern (Fern)
Graceful, deep green fronds which develop tiny bulbils or "Chickens". Excellent pot plant indoors or in shade. However some plants sold as this species are in fact a non-native sterile hybrid A.x lucrosum (A. bulbiferum x A. dimorphum).
