Description

Imagine the shaded corners and dark borders of your garden bursting with colour, texture and drama, for twelve months of the year! Fiery copper, shimmering silver, and bold architectural green.

Each fern in this collection holds the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit. Together, these three ferns create a layered, multi-textured display that is simply impossible to achieve with a single plant.

Each fern is fully hardy, virtually pest and disease free, and thrives in the shaded spots most plants flatly refuse. They are easy to establish, low maintenance and will return reliably year after year, growing more impressive with every passing season.

You will receive one each of:

Athyrium niponicum 'Metallicum', known as the Painted Fern: Arching fronds in shimmering silver with rich burgundy-red veins threaded through each leaf. The colour palette shifts and evolves through the seasons, for a changing display that looks as though it has been hand-painted. Growing to around 40�45cm, it forms a neat, elegant, weed-suppressing clump.
Dryopteris erythrosora, known as the Copper Shield Fern: Brand new fronds emerge each spring in a blaze of vivid copper-pink, before deepening to rich, glossy dark green by summer. Fully hardy and virtually indestructible.
Polystichum munitum, known as the Western Sword Fern: Big, bold evergreen. Lustrous, dark green, sword-like fronds sweep upwards in a dramatic shuttlecock formation, staying lush, vibrant and fully evergreen throughout every single month of the year. Growing to around 90cm tall, this is a fern of genuine architectural presence.

Supplied as a set of three established plants, one of each variety, in 2 litre pots.

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.

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.

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.
