Pyrrosia lingua Hagoromo Nishiki New Zealand golden foliagePyrrosia lingua 'Hagoromo Nishiki' is a rarely offered variegated Japanese selection of evergreen tongue fern. The 9" tall leaf is perched atop a 3" thin but sturdy stipe (the thingy that connects the leaf to the rhizome). Each fuzzy olive green, upright, cardboard textured, wavy edged leaf is heavily banded with chartreuse golden stripes. Pyrrosia lingua is an epiphytic fern (doesn't need soil), that spreads slowly via a thin ground surface rhizome.
