short skirt

Gardening
For the description of a variety of fern.
Full context: "Compact, well-rounded form with a short skirt. Light airy foliage is ideal in a hanging basket."
"Short skirt" refers to the way the foliage falls around the pot. This particular variety of fern has a tighter, more mounded habit than a typical Boston fern, which hangs much longer. So the shorter the leaves, the shorter the fall or "skirt."

Hola Nathalie:
La palabra cascada se utiliza mucho en jardinería para describir las plantas y los arbustos colgantes. Puedes encontrar "rosal colgante que le proporcionará una maravillosa cascada de color" y frases similares.
Espero que te sirva o que te dé nuevas ideas, de parte de una aficionada a la jardinería.
Un abrazo,
Gemma
