A Native tree fern that is beautifully understated revealing its unique silver lining in the wind or with night lighting. It is the National Emblem of New Zeland. It can reach a height of up to 10m with a frond length of 2-4m but is slow growing.
The silver fern needs a sheltered site with shade or semi shade and good moist, well-composted soil is best. Suitable for growing in a large pot too.
