Davallia mariesii var. stenolepis – Rare Collector’s Fern with Silky Rhizomes

Discover a true botanical gem at TOMs FLOWer CLUB: the rare Davallia mariesii var. stenolepis, organically grown over several years in a hanging basket - round 50cm diameter. This refined variety of the beloved Rabbit’s Foot Fern is prized for its delicate, silvery rhizomes and finely divided, ferny fronds that lend an elegant, naturalistic charm to any collection.

Unlike mass-produced greenhouse ferns, this specimen comes from 100% organic cultivation, grown patiently and naturally – no overfertilization, no forced growth, just healthy development in a well-ventilated, protected space. The hanging basket allowed its creeping rhizomes to form beautiful, cascading structures – a living sculpture of botanical finesse.

Key Features:

• Rare variety: Davallia mariesii var. stenolepis – finer-scaled, elegant form

• Organically grown over multiple years – not a fast-tracked greenhouse plant

• Cultivated in a hanging basket for natural rhizome draping and healthy growth

• Delicate, silky rhizomes and soft green fronds with mimosa-like elegance
