The young fronds of this striking fern are coppery red and slowly mature to dark green as the season progresses. Definitely one we would recommend.

Prefers a moist, fertile soil in partial shade. Although slow-growing it is worth the wait as mature specimens are absolutely stunning. Will remain evergreen in mild winters. Will tolerate dry shade once established.

Height: 18 - 24 inches / 45 - 60cm

Our web shop is now open for you to browse and make your selection from. We only send plants out Monday (not Bank Holidays) to Wednesday. This is to avoid packages being left in the postage system over the weekend. Shipping plants and keeping them healthy along the process is an intricate matter. As we care for the plants we sell we deliver them in a way that ensures they have enough to drink and enough protection between our nursery and your home.

  • Courier Service
