Ferns
Ferns have extremely interesting foliage and textures, they are low maintenance and easy to grow. Evergreen varieties give year-round interest, whilst others die back in autumn and re-shoot in Spring. Ferns will love a shaded spot in your garden, and can provide a more woodland effect to your borders. Our full range of ferns is displayed at the garden centres. Covered under our 3-year hardy plant guarantee.
