The detail
You can choose from a diverse range of evergreen, semi-evergreen & deciduous ferns, each offering a distinct leaf shape, texture & seasonal colour. From bold architectural forms with glossy, strap-like or holly-shaped fronds, to finely divided woodland ferns with copper, gold, silver or burgundy-toned new growth, this collection covers everything from classic woodland planting to exotic, jungle-style displays. Mature sizes typically range from compact rock-garden forms at 20–30 cm to large statement ferns reaching over 1 m tall, making them suitable for shaded borders, understory planting, containers, courtyards, stonework edges & woodland gardens.
Each plant is supplied as a fresh, well-established 2L rootball, professionally grown in premium peat-free compost for strong root development & reliable garden performance. Larger and more mature than starter plants or plugs, these ferns arrive fully rooted, well branched & outdoor garden ready, allowing them to settle quickly and deliver immediate foliage impact. Naturally resilient, long-lived & low maintenance, hardy ferns are ideal for creating calm, layered planting schemes that improve with age.
