Blechnum spicant – Hard Fern
As they age the feathery dark green fronds of this evergreen ‘hard fern’ spread semi-horizontally to form an attractive rosette-like shape. One of our recommended varieties it provides all-year foliage interest for shady areas of the garden with moist humus-rich acid soil and companionship for shade-loving woodland plants. It is also known as the Ladder Fern thanks to the arrangement of the leaves.
