The finely divided fronds emerge bright green in spring, maturing to darker green, bringing textural interest and structure to woodland gardens and shade borders. Shield fern is perfect for naturalising in woodland settings, adding elegance to shade borders, or providing ground cover beneath trees and shrubs. The evergreen foliage ensures year-round interest whilst the graceful habit brings movement and softness to plantings. This hardy native fern thrives in moist, shaded conditions and requires minimal maintenance once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e evergreen foliage, shade tolerant, excellent ground cover, low maintenance, native species\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e provides shelter for insects and amphibians\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 90cm x 90cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e partial shade to full shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e adaptable; performs well in neutral to slightly acid conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e moist soil preferred; tolerates some drought once established\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e fully hardy to -20°C\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coletta \u0026 Tyson","offers":[{"title":"1 litre x 3","offer_id":57007696118138,"sku":"COL-1LTR-SHI-FERX3","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 litre x 6","offer_id":57007696150906,"sku":"COL-1LTR-SHI-FERX6","price":41.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0320\/6758\/4138\/files\/download_59b91532-ace2-4c46-a136-d7390183421b.png?v=1764070607","url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/ct-polystichum-setiferum-shield-fern-ferns","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
