Asplenium ‘Māori Princess’ is a popular New Zealand native hybrid bird’s nest fern known for its lush, glossy, arching green fronds that form a soft, vase-like rosette, making it ideal for shaded gardens, containers, and understory planting; it prefers sheltered, humid conditions in partial to full shade, with moist, free-draining soil rich in organic matter, and is frost tender, performing best in mild, protected environments.
