Common name: Japanese Fern
Latin Name: Polystichum rigens
Soil: Any moist but well-drained
Position: Full shade or partial shade
Hardiness: Hardy
Eventual height/spread: 0.4m/0.6m
Special feature: Forms a neat and compact mound
This is a delightful fern that is perfect for the front of a shady border. This Japanese native has highly ornamental fronds that arch over at their tip; it will grow to form a neat and compact mound. The fronds are mid-green in colour with lustrous and leathery pinnae. As this is an evergreen you will get to enjoy the verdant colour all year round and the foliage is also aromatic, which is a rare trait in a fern. Plant this as part of an informal woodland scheme alongside other evergreen ferns, like the Blechnum penna-marina.
