Fern trees are highly identifiable due to their distinctive leaves, named fronds, that unfurl in the most unusual way by literally uncurling and stretching out. Ferns can be evergreen, semi-evergreen or deciduous depending on the variety and they generally tolerate most soil types. The leaves of fern trees can soften up the appearance of your garden and ferns look great in a woodland planting scheme.

Cyrtomium fortunei
Fortune's Cyrtomium Fern
Common Name: Fortune's Cyrtomium FernLatin Name: Cyrtomium fortuneiSoil: Fertile, well-drainedPosition: Full shade or partial shadeHardiness: Hardy to -10Eventual height/spread: 0.8m/0.6mSpecial feature: Highly unique fronds that resemble holly This is a really distinctive fern as some of the uniquely shaped fronds resemble holly leaves; the pinnate fronds are bright green and leathery to the touch, making this plant a vibrant addition to the garden. Deep black stems have an upright habit and gently arch at their tips. With this being a semi-evergreen it holds its fronds in most winters, giving you year-round interest in all but the harshest of winters. The 'Cyrtomium fortunei' is a shade-loving plant and it works well as part of a woodland themed border; if you want a planting partner then the Athyrium Okanum also thrives in the shade and the two varieties of fern offer different textures and colours, making your garden more diverse.

Dryopteris wallichiana
Wallich's Wood Fern
Common name: Wallich's Wood FernLatin Name: Dryopteris wallichianaSoil: Moist but well drained Position: Partial shade or full shade Hardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.9m/0.8mSpecial feature: Shuttlecock-like bright green frondsThe ‘Wallich’s Wood’ is a delightful semi-evergreen fern that features shuttlecock-like fronds that have an upright habit. The fronds are lance-shaped and bipinnate, so the plant has a light and airy texture: they unfurl from upright, hairy stems to reveal their bright green colour. This hardy fern works really well as part of a woodland planting theme and we love it alongside the variegated ‘Arachnoides aristata variegata’.
