Blechnum discolor, Crown Fern
 Blechnum discolor
Family: Blechnaceae
Crown Fern
Origin: New Zealand
large shrub 5-10 ftsmall shrub 2-5 ftfull sunshadesemi-shaderegular waterornamental foliagesubtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Blechnum Discolor has bright green, upright fronds forming a crown shape. With age, this variety forms a short trunk and establishes an increasing colony around it. Long, dark brown fertile fronds stand upright in the centre of the crown.

This fern is best suited to dappled light – although will tolerate a sunny situation provided the soil is kept moist. It will cope with a wide range of conditions, including dry, frosts, and full sun to shade. Fairly hardy but would need some protection from the cold where temperatures dip below -3C for a period of time.
