Plant of the Day
Tuesday 30 December 2014
The strong evergreen fronds of Blechnum chilense (Chilean hard fern) provide structural foliage in the winter and form excellent groundcover in a cool, moist, shady area. The fern has a creeping rhizome and so needs room to spread producing the simple sterile pinnate fronds which are up to 1.2m in height, while the fertile fronds are more erect and produce spores.
