Why you'll love it

Ferns thrive in shade or dappled light, making them ideal for tricky, low-sun areas where other plants may struggle. Hardy and low-maintenance, this perennial returns year after year with little fuss. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool. Whether planted under trees, along a path, or in a container, a fern adds a touch of wild serenity and natural charm to any space.

Plant Details

Supplied bare root, carefully packed with a moisture source to ensure freshness. Plant height: approximately 10cm. Please remember that most plants are dormant in Autumn/Winter so your order may have no leaves until Spring.

What Does Bare Root Mean?

Our plants have their full root systems but are carefully removed from the pot and soil before delivery. The roots are wrapped in moist material and eco-friendly packaging to keep them fresh during transit. It’s less messy, reduces waste, and allows the plant to settle into your garden more easily once planted.

Sustainably Grown in Britain

Plants are sustainably grown and harvested by Wild but Rooted at our coppice in the South West UK, without the use of pesticides or herbicides. Packaged using biodegradable materials for an eco-conscious delivery.
