Polystichum setiferum “Plumosum-Densum”

Northern Maidenhair – Delicate, 20-40cm fronds with black stems, spread out into a fan-like circle.  Hardy and easy to grow in moist, cool free draining environments in reasonable shade.  Deciduous.  

Japanese Painted Fern Hardy herbaceous fern with deep purple-red painted fronds.  The depth of the colour and frond patterning increases with age. Grow in free-draining moist soil in semi to full shade.  Makes good ground cover, and equally good as a specimen planting.

Himalayan Maidenhair –  Hardy deciduous fern, almost evergreen in mild areas, forming a mat of fronds up to 25cm.  Moist, cool sites with plenty of shade.

Alpine Wood Fern Hardy semi-evergreen fern, with tufts of erect, narrow fronds up to 150cm.  Frond ribs covered in yellow hairs when young, which turn black with age, giving this fern its distinctive look.   Good quality moist garden soil in shade and away from heat in summer.
