- Planting & Care
- This captivating, ancient plant features large, arching fronds and a fuzzy brown trunk, with origins dating back to the Jurassic period.
- Thriving in both full and partial shade, it's an ideal choice for gardens with limited sunlight.
- As an evergreen, Dicksonia antarctica provides year-round visual appeal and structure.
- It loves consistently moist soil and rainy climates, making it perfect for wet, temperate areas of the UK.
- Honoured with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, recognising it as a top choice for gardeners.
- Fun Fact: The 'trunk' is not traditional wood but a collection of aerial roots that transport water and nutrients.
- Planting Time: Plant out from May to September in a sheltered spot in beds or borders.
- Soil: Prefers any moist, well-drained soil. It is crucial to keep the soil and trunk consistently moist, especially during dry spells.
- Pruning: Little to no pruning is needed. Simply trim away any dead, damaged or diseased fronds as they appear.
- Winter Care: To protect the plant from frost, wrap the crown (the top of the trunk where fronds emerge) with straw or fleece during the winter months.
