Polystichum aculeatum (Hard Shield or Hard Prickly Shield Fern)

The fronds are of a stiff, leathery texture, glossy on top and mat underneath. Easily recognisable in Spring because its unfurling fronds curl over backwards like reversed croziers, contrary to the general rule. Does well in almost any position but is especially woodland or waterside 60-90cm. (Sold out until July 2012).
