Dryopteris affinis is an elegant and attractive semi-evergreen fern that will bring reliable greenery to any shaded or partially shaded area. This fern features a crown of golden-brown scales at the base of each frond, which contrasts beautifully with the bright green colour of the fronds (yellow-green when young). The fronds can grow up to 1.2 metres in length, creating a lush and full appearance that will add depth and texture to any garden or landscape. Its hardiness, adaptability, and ease of care make it an ideal choice for adding a touch of natural beauty to reliably moist, shady spaces. - Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost into the planting hole. Cut back decayed fronds in winter to allow new growth to emerge.
