I have not grown this plant. 'Sleeping Beauty' maidenhair fern is a very attractive fern with the new growth being bright pink and the pinnules curling downwards as if sleeping. It has tall, open and airy fronds with round pinnae (leaflets). It is an easy easy species to grow and is a great container plant. (Native to Central America, South America and the West Indies)
