Plant Biography

The native range of this species spans China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

Like all ferns, it is not a flowering plant – instead reproduction takes place via a complex two stage life cycle. The fern plants we use in gardening are the spore producing stage: Spores can be located on the underside of fertile fronds, often in little pouches called ‘sori.’
