{"product_id":"dryopteris-filix-mas-fern-pack-of-3-plants","title":"Dryopteris filix-mas Fern - Pack of 3 Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eDryopteris filix-mas is a hardy fern suited to shaded, damp corners of the garden where many other plants struggle to establish. It helps fill borders and shaded beds with dense, feathery green foliage, and being a native species it settles into UK growing conditions readily. Supplied as three young plants, ready to plant straight into the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDryopteris filix-mas is a native fern carrying the RHS Award of Garden Merit, valued for its feathered, crested fronds that hold a deep green colour through the growing season. Being native to the UK, it's naturally suited to typical British garden conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits shaded and part-shaded borders, the kind of damp, low-light spot where many flowering plants struggle. As a foliage-only plant with no flowers to manage, it gives a tidy, structural patch of green that needs little more than an occasional tidy-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows best in a sheltered position with consistently damp soil, though the source care notes are clear that boggy, waterlogged ground should be avoided. An occasional tidy of older fronds keeps it looking its best through the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach order includes three young plants, supplied individually potted and ready to plant straight into prepared ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this fern apart is the combination of reliable shade tolerance and its RHS Award of Garden Merit, a recognition the RHS gives for consistently good garden performance. Being a native species, it also settles naturally alongside other UK planting without looking out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade Preference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoliage Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRHS AGM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrows best in a damp, but not water logged ground, in a sheltered position.
