Plant Passport Registration Number: GB147173 Please read our notes before placing the order: 1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale. You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste) 2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring. 3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking. It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later. Thank you.
These are late 2020 divisions for growing on and the first year leaves will be around 2-4 inches long,about doubling in size each year to maturity.
The leaves will have been battered a bit by the winter(they are grown hard,outside with no protection) but please leave some on the plants until the new spring fronds arise as they will aid establishment.

margins often undulate. Spores are borne in conspicuous, traverse stripes beneath the fronds. Best grown
in humus rich, moist but well-drained soil in shade, as bright mid-day sun can cause damage. Tolerant of the deepest ,even dry, shade but water well in at least the first summer. Cut fronds off as they look tired. Generally pest and disease free.
