Hart's Tongue Fern
The Hart's Tongue Fern is an evergreen fern perfect for shade and partial shade gardens. At Soto we love this fern for its upright, robust texture. Pair with softer ferns in streams, forests or shade borders for a striking display. This is a great choice for those looking for low maintenance texture with interest throughout the year. Each spring fresh new tongue-like fronds unfurl, adding vertical interest. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
