Plant description
An imposingly elegant fern, with matt-green, lance-shaped, leathery fronds, and a handsome habit. Originating from the damp woodlands of Chile, this award-winning hard fern is hard to ignore. Although evergreen, the winter-weary fronds can be cut down in spring to reveal fresh new growth. Worth considering either planted as a group or singly for dramatic effect, alongside other woodland dwellers.
