Home : Ferns : Mother Shield Fern Polystichum proliferum	Enlarge picture
Ferns are wonderful structural plants which are ideal in a woodland garden, a damp border or to grow at the edge of a pond. The varieties offered are fully hardy and thrive in humus-rich, moist but well drained neutral to slightly acid soil, in dappled or partial shade.
A rapid growing evergreen with beautiful dark green fronds rising from a stout rhizome, covered with shiny brown scales. The proliferous bud that develops on the frond tip grows into a small plant, as the fronds sag these root into the ground. Prefers well drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Height 3ft (90cm).
