Polystichum setiferum - 2L - Pot

Polystichum setiferum, commonly known as the soft shield fern, is an elegant evergreen fern native to Europe, cherished for its lush, finely textured foliage and adaptability in shaded gardens. Typically growing 2–3 feet tall and wide, it forms dense clumps of arching fronds that are soft to the touch and intricately divided, creating a graceful, feathery appearance. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils and partial to full shade, it is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. Hardy and low-maintenance, Polystichum setiferum provides year-round interest with its vibrant green fronds, which may take on bronze hues in winter, adding seasonal contrast. Its combination of structure, texture, and resilience makes it a staple in both naturalistic and formal garden designs.
