Description

Bold, architectural, and evergreen. Meet the shade-loving Western Sword Fern, known as Polystichum munitum.

This one doesn’t retreat, even in the cold of winter, continuing to produce spectacular, upright shuttlecocks of dark, glossy, sword-like fronds that remain lush and vibrant every single month of the year.

This is a fern grows up to 125cm tall with individual fronds stretching to impressive lengths of 90cm - each one boldly toothed, leathery and lustrous.

Plus, it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, so is tested and proven to perform impressively in UK gardens.

It is fully hardy, virtually pest and disease free, and thrives in the shadiest spots most plants refuse to touch. For flower borders, woodland gardens, shaded pathways and large containers, this evergreen workhorse asks very little and delivers an enormous amount.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
All ferns love a good pampering their first two years to get them established — lots of water and humous.
Care Information
  • Prepare the soil well and deeply before you plant your fern, removing all weeds and adding plenty of well-rotted organic matter such as leaves mold or composted bark.
  • Ferns need both moisture and good drainage, so a good, rich mulch helps considerably.
  • Plant your fern shallowly, with the crown flush with the surrounding soil and keep garden debris away from the base.
  • In spring, apply a new layer of mulch for the new growing year.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
