Oak fern, Gymnocarpium dryopteris, is a hardy deciduous fern native to north America, bearing pretty triple-headed, bright green fronds with tiny, overlapping leaflets.
The fronds of Gymnocarpium dryopteris 'Plumosum' appear more full than those of the species. It’s ideal for growing at the front of a woodland border or using as ground cover in a shady corner, and works well with other shade-loving plants such as hostas.
Grow Gymnocarpium dryopteris 'Plumosum' in moist, humus-rich soil in deep shade. Cut the fronds back in autumn as they start to fade.
