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.

(Evergreen)Juniperus scopulorum 'Blue Arrow' makes an attractive, slow-growing and very narrow column of blue-green foliage that can achieve a height of 4m yet just 50cm across. Best planted it in a sheltered, shady site to encourage its leanness. The needles are pressed close against the branches, giving vertically held, whippy looking sprays that, on close inspection, can appear rather coarse looking. It is the narrowest, most 'pencil like' of all columnar conifers, making it very useful for landscape people. These look attractive planted in rows or either side of a doorway.
