Description

A rather lovely, evergreen fern that is both eye catching and versatile.Each Spring fresh new tongue-like fronds uncurl, creating upright clumps which look super dotted through a woodland floor. It is also valuable for adding vertical interest towards the front of a partially shaded border or for underplanting established trees and shrubs. Once established it will become more tolerant of drier soils.
