Japanese bamboo fern, Coniogramme japonica, is an elegant fern, bearing upright, dark green fronds with a lighter green herringbone pattern running along them. Gently spreading by rhizomes, it’s perfect for growing as ground cover in a woodland border.
Grow Coniogramme japonica in moist soil in partial shade. Not fully hardy, it may not withstand British winters. To be on the safe side, repot into a container to overwinter indoors. Mulch annually with leaf mould.
