    Found colonising reliably moist spots from Mexico to southwestern Canada, this impressive evergreen fern offers height, drama and year-round interest with its large handsome, dark green foliage. Spectacular when planted beside a pond or allowed to form a sea of green in a woodland garden.

  • Garden care: Water regularly during the growing season, ensuring that the soil or compost does not dry out while the plant is getting established. Shelter from cold, drying winds and apply a generous layer of protective mulch in autumn. Remove any tatty or damaged fronds in early spring before the new growth emerges.
