Dryopteris Atrata Fern

Wood ferns or Male ferns - Low-maintenance ferns to grow

• FOLIAGE COLOUR - Black Wood fern is so-called because of the dark, almost black scales covering the black leaf bases and crown. This, when contrasted with the bright green fronds, makes the plants extremely appealing.
• WHERE TO PLANT - Thrives in a cool, sunny or partially or fully shaded position in moist, but well-drained, humus-rich soil. Good for woodland gardens and naturalised planting schemes.
• ALL ROUNDER - This variety of fern is perfect for patio pots and garden borders the same - Its maximum height will be no more than 90 cm.
