Blechnum novae-zelandiae - Gully fern
Latin name:
Blechnum novae-zelandiae
Common name:
Gully Fern, Kiokio
Keywords:
novae zelandiae, novae-zealandiae
Once formerly know as Blechnum capense, Blechnum novae-Zealandiae is one of the most widely distributed species of ferns in New Zealand – growing abundantly on clay banks along roadsides and rivers. The long cascading fronds (up to 2m long and 50cm wide) are a bright pink colour when new, and turn light green and then darker green as they mature.
It will tolerate almost any conditions – although the fronds can be much smaller if in full sun.
