Dryopteris filix-femina

Welsh: Rhedynen Fair

The more delicate, feathery appearance of the fronds of this fern have earned it its name. They can be very variable in form, and in height (a few inches to 3ft) and appearance. Common on stream sides and on marshy ground, it can be grown in any soil that does not dry out. AGM

Supplied as Bare-root Plants (sent without pots, with roots carefully prepared for planting)
