Description

An extraordinary colour-changing fern, the Copper Shield Fern produces a spectacular seasonal display that begins anew every spring.

Fresh fronds emerge in vivid shades of copper, orange and blush pink before slowly maturing to a rich, deep glossy green as summer takes hold – a living colour transformation that makes this fern unlike almost anything else you can grow in a shaded garden space.

Holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. Fully hardy to around -10C and highly resistant to pests and disease, it is among the easiest and most rewarding ferns to establish in a UK garden. Requiring only consistently moist, well-drained soil and a shaded or partially shaded position, it will thrive with minimal attention once settled in.

At maturity it reaches approximately 90cm in height and width, forming a compact, weed-suppressing clump. It grows well in containers – ideal for shaded patios or balconies.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready to plant on arrival.
