Guía de cuidados

Plant in partial shade or full shade in moisture-retentive, humus-rich soil. The fern does not tolerate drying out, so keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of leaf compost around the base as mulch. Protect plants in their first year during hard frosts with a layer of straw.

Consejos de poda

Remove old, brown fronds in early spring before the new fiddleheads unfurl. Cut the fronds low to the ground — fresh growth emerges from the crown of the plant.
