Polystichum x dycei



18th June 2021 6th May 2023
A large hybrid fern created by Ann Sleep at Leeds University and named after Jimmy Dyce (pteridologist). )Polysichum (braunii x proliferum).
It has done well in the garden, holding its own against the advancing brambles. It is sterile, but it can be propagated from the occasional bulbils it produces at the tip of the fronds.
