Golden Shield Fern, Golden-scaled Male Fern

The King Golden Shield Fern is the grandest of the crested male ferns, forming large, upright clumps with broad, heavily crested frond tips that give it a regal, architectural presence in shade gardens.

• Frond tips are broadly crested and tasselled, an elaborate ornamental form
• Large, bold upright clumps develop an impressive architectural presence over time
• Semi-evergreen fronds hold colour well into winter
• Tolerates dry shade and poor soils better than most ferns
• A classic Victorian-era collector's fern that remains highly ornamental
