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.

Dryopteris sieboldii
Siebold's Wood Fern
Common Name: Siebold’s Wood FernLatin Name: Dryopteris sieboldiiSoil: Moist but well drained Position: Partial shade or full shade Hardiness: Half hardy - needs some shelter Eventual height/spread: 0.6m/0.5mSpecial feature: A highly distinctive fern with unique, wavy fronds This is a beautiful fern which is completely different to any other; the pinnate fronds are broadly serrated at their edges and some pinnae are waved; the unique structure of this fern makes it a great choice for adding texture to a bed or border. The fronds are leathery to the touch and mid-green in colour; we love this planted alongside the ‘Asplenium scolopendrium Angustifolia’ as the two plants are of a similar size and both have leathery fronds, but they offer different colours. This fern is semi-evergreen and it requires a sheltered position to retain the most leaves throughout winter.
