A cultivar of the native male fern, Dryopteris affinis, which is found in woodlands in wetter parts of Britain, this is a handsome, semi-evergreen fern that keeps its leaves almost all year round. The young fronds unfurl a golden green and the plant retains a fresh, bright appearance throughout the summer. Try it in a moist shady border with other woodland plants. - Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost into the planting hole. Cut back decayed fronds in winter to allow new growth to emerge.

This is an outdoor fern, however it could be potted up into a terrarium for a short while. Ultimately though it will get too big and will be much happier if planted out in the garden. A better option would be our starter ferns - please click on the following link to go straight to them. https://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/fern-starter-collection/classid.2000028148/
