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.

Polystichum polyblepharum
Japanese Tassel Fern
Common name: Japanese Tassel FernLatin Name: Polystichum polyblepharum Soil: Any moist but well-drained Position: Full shade or partial shade Hardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.8m/0.9mSpecial feature: New fronds are covered in golden hairs in spring This is a really unique fern that offers interest all year round. In spring new fronds emerge covered in golden hairs, giving this a tassel-like effect. The fronds are wonderfully lustrous and hold a mid-dark green colour in all seasons, making this a highly ornamental fern. The pinnae overlap and are arranged in a shuttlecock-like structure so this a fantastic architectural plant, too. Make sure that you plant this fern in a shady spot and put it alongside another structural fern, like the Matteuccia struthiopteris, if you want to achieve a variety of colours and shapes.
