The fronds are divided into fresh, bright green pinnae that add a real splash of colour. This soft shield fern is an evergreen so it’s perfect for brightening up a shady border all year round. This is a simple, yet very elegant, variety and it works really well as part of a naturalistic planting scheme or a woodland style garden. Plant it alongside a darker fern, like the Dryopteris ‘Lepidota Cristata’, for contrasting colours and textures.

The fronds are grey-green in colour and the pinnae overlap. This produces a dense, small mound of feathery foliage and it’s great for adding year-round colour and texture. We love this next to the Doodia media as the two both feature feathery foliage but with contrasting colours.
