Description

Easy to grow, the vivid green leaves have beautiful copper bronze coloured fronds during the spring that turn a bright orange-red colour underneath as the seasons progress. A great way to add interest and character to garden borders and patio containers where they will reach a height of 70cm. Ferns can be planted in all areas of the garden but prefer more shaded areas, where if planted in moist, neutral-acidic soil, they are sure to thrive. 9cm pot plants supplied.Growing Ferns in the garden really does make a wonderful statement of elegance and charm, adding interest and character to your summer garden.

Planting Notes
Planting – Remove from the pot and plant in a hole the same depth as the container
Soil Type – Moist, neutral-to-acidic soil.
From late autumn protect the crown with a dry mulch, for example straw.
Plant in moist, relatively fertile soil, in areas with some protection from strong winds.
Supplied as a young plant in a 9cm pot, all plants are health checked before sending with a Scottish plant passport. Depending on when in the season you buy, they may be getting ready to flower, in flower, or have passed flowering. If bought in winter the foliage may be dying back, but the plants will re-grow the following season.
Ensure the plant is watered in, and regularly after initial planting until new growth is seen which generally indicates the plant has started to root into the new position.
Please feel free to contact Borringtons prior to buying with any questions about your prospective purchase.
