How to care for Dryopteris filix-mas Linearis Polydactyla:
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.
Please note:
This fern is deciduous so all its fronds will die back in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again each spring.
