Description
Feast your eyes on the extraordinary RHS AGM Australian Tree Fern! This stunning perennial boasts long, finely cut fronds of up to 1.5m, creating a magical display that adds drama to any garden. Native to Australia, the Dicksonia antarctica thrives in the relatively mild, wet climate of the UK, making it a perfect addition to shaded areas. With its slow growth rate, it forms just 3cm of trunk per year, ultimately reaching a height of around 4m, ensuring it remains a captivating focal point for years to come. Awarded an RHS Award of Garden Merit, this tree fern is a testament to its exceptional qualities and ability to enhance any landscape. Whether planted in woodland areas, exotic borders, or as a striking specimen plant, the Australian Tree Fern is sure to impress with its unique beauty and resilience. Supplied as 1 x 10 Litre Potted Plant. How to Grow: Light: Plant in dappled or semi-shade, ideally in a woodland situation. Temperature: Hardy to -5°C, but protect during particularly cold winters by insulating the crown and stem with straw and horticultural fleece. Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil; water the trunk daily during hot weather. Feeding: Apply liquid fertiliser from the second year after planting, spraying it onto the crown and stem regularly.
