Fishbone water fern, Blechnum nudum, is a great fern for a bog garden, forming an erect, rounded clump with a small black fibrous trunk. Shuttlecocks of dark green, glossy pinnate fronds appear throughout summer. Slender, spore-bearing fronds grow from the centre.
Grow Blechnum nudum in boggy soil in partial shade. Protect from frost.
