Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
The Dryopteris affinis is one of the most robust ferns native to the UK.
Fronds remain attached to the plant after withering. A good clean-up in spring will encourage the golden scaled male fern to push new fronds. Considered evergreen in milder areas but classed as semi-evergreen for colder parts of the country.
Beautyful,green and turgid.Loved them.

We have been buying ferns from this company for a couple of years and they are amazing.
They are large healthy looking plants excellently packed. Would not think of buying from anywhere else. Well done Palm Centre. Thanks very much.
