Blechnum spicant – 2 litre pot

Hardy evergreen fern that will thrive in moist, shaded borders and corners of gardens. The foliage has long, flat, dark green fronds with slightly wavy edges. They arch outwards, parallel to the ground. The fertile fronds are longer, narrower and upright. They grow in the centre of the plant with their leaflets spaced further apart from each other, and the outer edges rolled inwards on the undersides.

Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container.
– Water well after planting. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– Feeding is not required. Incorporate rotten plant matter into the compost or soil at planting.
– Keep well-watered during hot, dry spells.
– Old leaves can be safely removed.
