Pondside Fern Pack
- A beautifully colourful fern with broadly triangular, arching fronds in a shiny dark green
- In spring, the new fronds have a coppery tint, which contrasts beautifully with the green of the mature fronds. These turn green as the season progresses
- An eyecatching accent plant, this is equally lovely as a backdrop to flowering shade plants
- Grows best in partial or full shade, but will be fine in full sun if the soil is kept moist
- Thrives on neglect - a very hardy, low maintenance perennial which is pest and disease free
- Ideal for pond edges, shady beds and borders, underplanting roses and shrubs, cottage or woodland gardens
- Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit
