Polystichum setiferum 'Herrenhausen'



29th November 2022 27th May 2023
A form of the Soft Shield fern with finely divided fronds that are held more horizontally that is typical for the species, which can be quite upright. It has distinctive poise as a garden plant. I have wanted to grow it for many years but have only just got around to obtaining one.
Selected at the gardens of Herrenhausen Palace in Hanover, Germany.
