MBN 1Gal Pyrrosia lingua 'Ogon Nishiki'

'Ogon Nishiki' VARIEGATED FELT-LEAF FERN a premium, slow-growing, creeping species, bearing deep green. upright leaves to about 12" long that are streaked and splashed irregularly with stripes and chevrons of rich golden yellow. Young leaf undersides are covered with peach or tan-colored fuzz, then mature to a more coppery, lightly iridescent indumentum. Highly ornamental, this is a choice plant choice for choice containers, dark spots or any special, featured position in your shade garden or patio. Part sun to full, deep, dark shade, rich soil but likes a loose compost on top to send its rhizomes through. Surprisingly tough and drought tolerant when established, but it will always need at least some watering, and it doesn't give you a lot of warning that it has had just about enough of this dry-garden nonsense. This variegation, like that of many similarly-marked ferns, seems to be due to a virus, and care should be taken to bleach your clippers lest you pass it around. (Although you just might like the result.) USDA zone 7b. Eastern Asia. rev 8/2016
