The Plants

Polystichum setiferum

soft shield fern

£9.00

A native fern with lacy, neat, dark-green fronds. A superb textural plant that contrasts well with glossy, hardy ferns such as Asplenium scolopendrium, and other striking shapes such as Solomon's seal and hostas. Plants are surprisingly drought-tolerant, although they dislike direct sun.
