soft shield fern ( syn. Plumosum Densum )

Product Image
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:

Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost into the planting hole. Remove dead or tatty-looking foliage in spring.
