Cheilanthes Sieberi (Poison Rock Fern / Mulga Fern)

Cheilanthes Sieberi (Poison Rock Fern) is a hardy Australian native fern admired for its delicate, finely divided fronds and remarkable ability to thrive in dry, rocky environments. Its attractive grey-green foliage creates a soft, textured appearance that complements native gardens, shaded rockeries and naturalistic landscapes. Unlike many ferns, this resilient species tolerates periods of drought once established, making it an excellent choice for low-water gardens.

Compact and easy to maintain, Cheilanthes Sieberi performs best in well-drained soils with protection from intense afternoon sun. It is ideal for rock gardens, crevice plantings, containers and understorey displays where its graceful foliage adds year-round interest. Its unique adaptability and attractive form make it a valuable addition to both residential and commercial landscapes.
