Leatherleaf Fern, Rumohra adianitiformis, are delicate looking, yet durable evergreen plants with glossy dark green foliage that can carpet the landscape in deep green color! These ferns are native to the many subtropical and tropical areas of the Southern hemisphere, and in our area, we like to use them as a groundcover, and they also look great in hanging baskets. Leatherleaf Ferns are an excellent addition to any tropical or Asian/Zen garden style, and some people like to cut the foliage to add texture to floral arrangements. We also like to use them in borders, mass planted under palm trees, and they look beautiful when growing in the shady areas of a landscape!
Leatherleaf Fern care is quite easy. Grow Leatherleaf Ferns in a spot with full sun or partial shade exposures. They stand up to well to heat too! Once established, these ferns have low to moderate watering needs. Feed with fertilizer during the growing season, and we recommend cutting back old fronds after the new growth begins in the spring.

- Reminds me of the PNWWhen my husband and I visited the Pacific Northwest last year, we fell in love with the tall pine trees, the lush forests, and all the vegetation. We wanted to add a bit of that vibe into the home we just moved into so we visited Moon Valley nursery to see what we could plant for that feel. Unfortunately, some of the plants we wanted need a lot more water than we are allowed to use in California, but Shawn was so helpful in helping us find plants that reminded us of the PNW but that grew well here with our water restrictions. I was able to plant a few of these fern in pots in my home to bring that PNW vibe inside too which was very cool. Thanks Shawn!
