Shuttlecock Fern

This deciduous shuttlecock fern is at its most beautiful in spring when the large, pale green, lacy fronds start to unfurl. One of the best foliage plants for areas of moist, dappled shade, it works particularly well next to water or in a woodland garden in between deciduous trees.Position: partial shadeSoil: humus-rich, moist but well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soilRate of growth: averageOther features: the short, dark brown fertile fronds produced in late summer look great frosted in the winter gardenHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Lift and divide large colonies in springThis plant is featured in the In The Shade Collection.
