Asplenium nidus ‘Crissie’ has broad, strap-like fronds that are irregularly lobed and crests on the tips, giving each leaf a frilly, ruffled appearance. The fronds are glossy and bright to medium green, with a central midrib and wavy margins. New growth emerges as tightly coiled fronds from the center giving it a “nest” look.
