Cyrtomium falcatum One Off Bermuda a descriptive name for thisCyrtomium 'One Off' is a 2023 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of our dwarf sporeling that showed up in a batch of Cyrtomium fortunei 'Green Tea'. Although it doesn't appear to be a hybrid, it has formed a very compact evergreen clump, compared to the typical Cyrtomium falcatum. Our seven year old clump is 18" tall x 2' wide. The bright green, glossy foliage seems to be held slightly more upright than we're used to seeing in the species.
