Here’s a fern for Jill!

This unusual fern consists of 9-18in (23-45cm) long, glossy green, strap-shaped, undivided fronds that form a clump to 2ft (60cm) wide. It makes a striking accent plant in woodland gardens where it can contrast with the delicate foliage of other plants, including other ferns.  It also does well in containers; its tight clumping habit means it can remain in the same pot for years.

Cheers,

John
