Carefully selected from our extensive range of outdoor Ferns, the exact plants received will vary to provide the best-looking plants throughout the year. You can rest assured, however, that you’ll get as broad a variety as possible.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Use fertiliser sparingly, as ferns are susceptible to burning from over fertilisation. Instead, mix some organic matter, such as compost or rotted leaves, into the soil to provide added nutrients.
How to Water
Water ferns regularly, particularly during dry spells, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Direct the flow of water towards the soil at the base of the plant, avoiding getting the fronds too wet, which can lead to rotting.
How to Plant
Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and position the fern so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole and gently firm down the soil before watering well.
