User's notes

A tough little fern, handles full sun, soil drying out & frost. Very coarse leaves which curl under at the edges in older plants (3rd photo shows underside). I haven’t seen it any taller than around 30 cm. Possibly Cheilanthes sieberi which I’ve just seen at sighting 4656135 which, to me, looks exactly like this one.
