Ostrich Fern is a majestic fern with large, elegantly arching, bright green fronds that mimic the shape of ostrich feathers — hence the name. The fronds can reach 150 centimetres tall and form a beautiful, funnel-shaped rosette. In autumn, separate dark brown fertile fronds appear in the centre of the plant. The fern spreads via underground runners.

Plant in partial shade in moist to wet, humus-rich soil. Ostrich Fern absolutely cannot tolerate drought — keep the soil permanently moist. The plant is ideal for stream banks, woodland edges, and damp borders. Runners can spread quite readily; remove unwanted plants in spring.
Cut away old, brown fronds in early spring before new fiddleheads unfurl. Leave the fertile fronds if you wish the fern to spread, or remove them for a tidy appearance.
Hosta sieboldiana
Hosta is the quintessential shade plant, valued for its large, blue-green, ribbed leaves. Light purple or white bell-shaped flowers appear on tall stems in July and August. Over the years the plant forms substantial clumps that give a shaded border a lush character.
Astilbe × arendsii
False Spirea is an elegant shade plant with feathery plumes in pink, red, or white above deeply cut foliage. It blooms from June to August, and the plumes retain their ornamental value even when dried. Astilbe thrives in moist, shady spots where many other plants struggle.
Dryopteris filix-mas
El helecho macho es un helecho robusto y nativo que forma un embudo elegante de frondes bipinnadas.
