Polystichum setiferum 'Plumosum Densum' is a variety of the Soft Shield Fern with finely divided fronds that give it a delicate appearance. The fronds are a deep green colour and have a slightly arching habit, forming a neat clump of foliage that looks great in a woodland or shady garden. This fern is evergreen, so it provides year-round interest in the garden, and it can tolerate a range of soil types as long as they are well-drained. It's a great choice for adding texture to a mixed border, and it works well as an underplanting for taller shrubs and trees.
Why we like it:
- The finely divided fronds give this fern a delicate and graceful appearance.
- It's evergreen, so it provides year-round interest in the garden.
- It's a versatile plant that can be grown in a range of garden styles, from woodland gardens to mixed borders.
What to know:
- Soft Shield Fern prefers a partially shaded to fully shaded position.
- It prefers a moist, well-drained soil and will appreciate regular watering, especially during dry periods.
- To keep the plant looking neat and tidy, remove any dead or damaged fronds in spring.
- It's generally disease and pest-free, but can be affected by slugs and snails.
- The Soft Shield Fern will grow to a height of around 60cm and a spread of 60cm when fully grown.
