Adiantum hispidulum
Fronds 15 x 8cm, bi- to tripinnate, with beautiful pink fronds early in season. Rarely seen out of doors but doing well at Tywardreath Hidden Gardens in Cornwall (UK); this is quite a mild garden but not as mild as many further south and west in Cornwall. Certainly worth trying in milder sites, especially e.g. London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh etc. If not obviously available commercially at garden centres, try looking at glasshouse or house ferns. Not pH sensitive, deciduous.
