Valued for its elegant, deeply lobed fronds, this hardy perennial brings year-round greenery to shaded corners, woodland borders and rocky crevices where many other plants struggle to thrive. It is a recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, reflecting its reliability and garden-worthy performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set includes three established plants, each supplied as an 11cm root-ball, ready for planting out. Polypodium vulgare is naturally found growing on mossy walls, tree stumps and rocky banks, making it an excellent choice for naturalising in a woodland garden, underplanting beneath trees, or tucking into gaps in shaded walls and rockeries. It also performs well as evergreen ground cover in borders and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Common Polypody is a low-maintenance fern that requires very little attention. It tolerates dry shade better than most ferns, making it a versatile and resilient addition to any garden. The leathery, lance-shaped fronds emerge fresh green in late summer and persist through the winter months, providing structure and interest when many other plants have died back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypodium vulgare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Common Polypody, Wall Fern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen Fern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–40 cm × 60–90 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, Spreading, Rhizomatous Evergreen Fern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodland Gardens, Shaded Borders, Rockeries, Walls, Ground Cover, Containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year-round (evergreen fronds emerge in late summer and persist through winter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial Shade to Full Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, Humus-rich; Tolerates Dry Shade Once Established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Hardy (RHS H7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy Evergreen Perennial Fern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leathery, Lance-shaped, Deeply Pinnate Green Fronds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRHS Award:\u003c\/strong\u003e Award of Garden Merit (AGM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e3 or 6 x Polypodium vulgare plants, each supplied as an 11cm root-ball\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in a sheltered, shaded or partially shaded spot in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter such as leaf mould.
