Dryopteris sieboldii (Siebold’s Wood Fern)
Meet Dryopteris sieboldii, the fern with broad, un-fernlike green fronds that scream sophistication without uttering a word. Compact yet commanding, it brings a touch of evergreen elegance to shady spots—like the little black dress of the fern world.
Growing to about 45–60cm tall and wide, it forms a neat, upright clump perfect for woodland borders or containers. Thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, it’s a garden gem that works hard and looks good doing it. Fern-tastic, indeed!
