Polystichum setiferum 'Proliferum'

Genus: Polystichum
Species: setiferum
Variety: 'Proliferum'
Plant Type: Evergreen Fern

A form of our native 'Soft Shield Fern'. A beautiful, medium sized fern with delightfully lacy soft green fronds. It quickly grows into a strong, broad clump with graceful open fronds. It's easy to grow and will tolerate quite dry soils once it is established. Although evergreen it benefits from having older leaves removed each year in late winter to show off the new foliage as it emerges.
