Hastata Fern is one of the cliffbrake ferns which favor lonely, rocky cliffs, watery canyons, and windswept bluffs. The genus name comes from a Greek word meaning “dark”, talking about either the dusky leaves or, in Hastatas’s case, the thin, black, wiry stems. On those thin, black, wiry stems are perfectly even pairs of soft, Kelly green leaflets like little green flags. Some of the leaves are three-lobed and some are single and almond-shaped. Coming from those cold, windy and wet lonely places, Hastata is quite tough and quite cold hardy. It’s even a bit drought tolerant. If you want to give ferns a whirl, this is a good, strong choice. It’s such a pretty thing, too!
