Hardy Fern Collection

A remarkable collection of six different hardy ferns, ready to provide excellent beauty and interest in any garden throughout the year.

The elegant foliage of these ferns forms into neat clumps to offer excellent ground coverage, in remarkable shades including green, silver, purple, and red.

Ferns are fantastic problem-solvers for gardeners of all abilities looking for evergreen beauties, as they are so easy to plant, grow, and maintain, while retaining a healthy look, regardless of the season.

Many of these hardy varieties are also ideal for adding natural décor to even the trickiest garden spaces, such as awkward corners, woodland beds, and damp borders.

This collection features six types of ferns, each boasting unique features, colours, and textures, and can either be planted throughout the garden for an impactful and uniform look, or en masse as part of a wider display.

All of these ferns even boast the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you can be sure of their pedigree as proven garden performers, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardens. You can therefore plant these in confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
