Asplenium scolopendrium, the Hart’s Tongue fern, is a tough, reliable evergreen fern ideal for difficult shady spots in the garden. Its long, wavy-edged green fronds make a beautiful backdrop for flowering woodland plants and spring bulbs like snowdrops and bluebells. Once established, it will even cope with dry shade.
Plant in partial or full shade, in soil that has been enriched with compost or leaf mould. Mulch with compost or well-rotted farmyard manure in spring and remove any dead or damaged leaves.
