Soft Shield Fern (syn. P. setiferum Plumosum Densum)

Soft, narrow, dark green fronds arranged in a distinctive shuttlecock-like shape. This handsome evergreen fern is perfect for a shady border with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Cutting back the foliage in early January allows the surrounding area to be underplanted with snowdrops, winter aconites or wood anemones.Position: full or partial shadeSoil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost into the planting hole
