Dicksonia antartica | Fern Grower’s Favourite | Perennial | 5 x Large Plugs

A fantastic fern for any garden

As one of the oldest plants in the world the Dicksonia Antarctica is a fantastic addition to any garden. Not only is it one of the easier tree ferns to grow, it is also one of the most affordable. Native to Australia this dramatic plant can be found from Queensland to Tasmania and prefers to grow in a sheltered spot with partial to full shade. As one of the hardier tree ferns it can suit the milder British climate with some protection in winter. It will grow up to a few metres in size producing masses of large, ornate, dark-green fronds.

Planting Tip

These plants will need protection from cold weather in winter but this can be as simple as stuffing fallen leaves into the crown.
