Polypodium ‘Whitley Giant’ (Giant Polypody Fern)
Big, bold, and ready to sprawl, Polypodium ‘Whitley Giant’ is the supersized version of the classic polypody, with broad, leathery fronds reaching up to 60cm tall (and looking like they mean business), it brings instant drama to shady spots and woodland edges.
This Wintergreen beauty spreads steadily by rhizomes, thriving in part to full shade and well-drained, humus-rich soil. It’s particularly fond of life on logs, rocky outcrops, or walls—basically, anywhere it can show off. Low-maintenance and full of character, it’s the gentle giant your garden didn’t know it needed. Go big or grow home!
