Asplenium Scolopendrium | 9cm Pot

A handsome evergreen fern for a shady spot. Position: partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained, preferably alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Hardiness: fully hardy This lovely hart’s tongue fern is both eyecatching and versatile. Its lustrous, wavy-edged fronds unfurl in early spring, and remain throughout the year, and are shown off to best effect in a natural-looking context, alongside other ferns, or spring bulbs. Try it at the edge of a woodland area, under trees, or in a shady mixed border. Once established, it can tolerate dry soil. Garden care: Plant in soil that has been improved with organic matter. Water regularly during the growing season, ensuring that the soil or compost does not dry out while the plant is getting established. Remove dead foliage in spring.
