Bring a lush, architectural quality to your shaded borders and woodland areas with this collection of three Hart's Tongue Fern plants. Unlike most ferns, Asplenium scolopendrium produces striking, undivided, strap-shaped fronds with a rich, glossy green finish and gently wavy edges. A native British fern and holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is one of the most reliable and low-maintenance evergreen perennials for difficult shady spots where other plants may struggle.

Each plant is supplied as an established specimen in a 1 litre root ball, ready to plant directly into your garden. Hart's Tongue Fern thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is particularly well suited to alkaline conditions, making it an excellent choice for chalky or limestone-rich gardens.
