Polypodium vulgare ‘Bifidum Multifidum’
If ferns had a flair for fashion, Polypodium vulgare ‘Bifidum Multifidum’ would be on the catwalk—twice. With deeply divided, frilly-edged fronds that bring a touch of wild elegance, this charming evergreen creeper is anything but common.
Growing to about 30–45cm tall, it spreads gently by rhizomes, making it perfect for softening walls, logs, rockeries, or shady corners that need a little leafy drama. Thrives in part to full shade with well-drained, humus-rich soil—especially happy in drier spots where fussier ferns fear to tread. Quirky, tough, and undeniably stylish, it’s the garden’s equivalent of a tousled hairstyle: effortlessly cool and impossible to ignore.
