Planting & Care

A captivating, ancient plant with large, arching fronds and a distinctive fuzzy brown trunk.
This living fossil dates back to the Jurassic period, adding a touch of prehistoric drama to your garden.
Thrives in full or partial shade, making it perfect for gardens with limited sunlight.
As an evergreen, it provides fantastic foliage and visual interest all year round.
Ideal for the wet, temperate climates found in the UK, it loves consistently moist soil.
Honoured with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliability and performance.
Fun Fact: The 'trunk' is not wood but a mass of aerial roots that transport water and nutrients.

Species: Dicksonia
Features: Fantastic foliage, Easy to grow, RHS Award of Garden Merit, Evergreen
Foliage Colour: Green
Planting Time: May, June, July, August, September
Position: Partial shade to full shade
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately two to three metres.
Habit: A trunk-like clump (or log) from which fern fronds grow.
Hardiness: H3 - Hardy down to -5°C. While one of the hardier tree ferns, Dicksonia antarctica will benefit from having its crown wrapped in straw throughout winter to protect it from the worst of the cold.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Rarely troubled by pests or diseases.
Soil Type: Tree ferns appreciate consistently moist soil, so make sure not to let your plant dry out.
Pruning: Little to no pruning needed. Trim away dead, damaged or diseased branches and leaves as necessary.

Plant between May and September in a sheltered spot in partial or full shade.
Ideal for beds and borders, it thrives in any moist, well-drained soil. It is crucial not to let the plant dry out.
Water generously, pouring water directly into the crown (the top of the trunk) as well as around the base.
In winter, protect the crown from frost by wrapping it with straw or horticultural fleece.
No regular pruning is required; simply remove old, damaged fronds as needed to keep the plant tidy.
Pairs beautifully with other shade-loving plants such as hostas and heucheras.
