Woodwardia fimbriata (Giant Chain Fern)
If your garden dreams in bold strokes, Woodwardia fimbriata is your leafy masterpiece. This giant chain fern unfurls massive, arching fronds up to 2 metres long—like green feathers from a prehistoric bird with a flair for the dramatic.
Thriving in part to full shade with consistently moist, humus-rich soil, it’s happiest in woodland settings or near water, where it can really show off its Jurassic-sized glamour. Evergreen in mild climates, and always a conversation starter. Think of it as the garden’s green dragon—majestic, mysterious, and just the right amount of wild.
