Hardy Ferns

Most gardens have a shady area for which ferns are ideal. They provide a fresh, cool green effect and can be mixed with other plants such as Hostas and other shade loving plants. They make good container plants too.

For more information on growing these see growing hardy ferns.

Our Ferns are supplied in 1 litre pots.
