Blechnum chilense
A tough evergreen fern producing thick, dark green fronds which can attain over 120cm in height, with sturdy stems covered in thick brown scales. This fern grows particularly well in a moist spot and will thrive in a bog garden. The emerging fronds are covered with thick, russet-brown scales. The fern probably has the thickest and most durable fronds of any fern. Once established, this magnificent fern will continually push up new fronds which may often be a shade of pink and will become a talking piece of the garden.
