Once formerly known as Blechnum capense, Blechnum novae-zealandiae is one of the most widely distributed species of ferns in New Zealand, growing abundantly on clay banks along roadsides and rivers.
The long cascading fronds (up to 2m long and 50cm wide) are a bright pink colour when new, and turn light green and then darker green as they mature.
It will tolerate almost any conditions – although the fronds can be much smaller if in full sun.
