A stunning, deciduous fern that will make a striking addition to any garden or landscape. Dryopteris filix-mas 'Linearis Polydactyla' features shuttlecock-like clumps that give rise to finely-divided and fork-tipped fronds that can grow up to 75 cm in length, creating a lush but delicate and airy appearance that will add depth and dimension to a reliably moist, shady space. This hardy and resilient fern is highly adaptable and easy to care for, making it a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers. - 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.
