Bring a touch of the Australian wilderness to your garden with the Dicksonia antarctica Fern Tree. Perfectly suited to the UK's climate, this hardy fern thrives even down to -5°C (23°F). Watch as its elegant, long-cut fronds gracefully unfurl, adding a dramatic flair to any damp, shaded spot.This slow-growing beauty adds approximately 3cm to its trunk each year, eventually reaching a height of up to 4 metres.

Alternatively, these ferns can flourish in containers filled with humus-rich soil, allowing you to move them outdoors during summer and into a greenhouse or conservatory for winter protection.This half-hardy perennial thrives in dappled shade or full shade, reaching an impressive height and spread of 400cm (13ft).
