FERN FAVOURITE

-

If you invest in this plant (or any fern, to be honest) expecting a crowd of headily scented flowers of rainbow hues, sweet fruit or fiery autumn colour you will be dreadfully disappoint­ed. But, if what you really need is an evergreen fern of great poise and elegance to give a bit of class to a shady corner, then you should look no further than this. A really good doer.
