I know that this fern has a bit of world domination personality. Having said that,
let me tell you a story:
In 1964 my father, who was a plant hobbyist of some note here in So Calif., created a large intertwined heart form, planted this fern in the center, and trained it onto the form. He called it "My four sweethearts and I." In late Sept. of that year, when the LA International Fern Society had their yearly show, this creation took best of show over all the wonderful plants there. I still have this same plant. I would never plant this one in the ground for good reason, but controlled in a pot she is wonderful.
