Description
If you want to brighten up a shaded area of the garden then this is the perfect choice. This fern features fronds that unfurl as a bright golden green colour and mature to a vivid green; this is technically a semi-evergreen but the fronds tend to hold during most winters.
In terms of its habit this fern is mostly upright but the fronds arch at their tips, making it a great choice for adding structure to a bed or border.
Common Name: Golden Male Fern
Latin Name: Dryopteris affinis Cristata
