Polystichum setiferum Plumosomultilobum Group
soft shield fern ( syn. Plumosum Densum )
Soft, narrow, dark green fronds arranged in a distinctive shuttlecock-like shape. This handsome evergreen fern is perfect for a shady border with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Cutting back the foliage in early January allows the surrounding area to be underplanted with snowdrops, winter aconites or wood anemones.
How to care for Polystichum setiferum Plumosomultilobum Group:
