Bring a touch of the Australian wilderness to your garden with the Dicksonia antarctica. This hardy tree fern, native to Australia, flourishes in the UK's mild, damp climate and can withstand temperatures down to -5°C (23°F). Watch as long, exquisitely cut fronds dramatically unfurl from the crown, adding a touch of magic to shaded, moist garden spots.
With slow growth of approximately 3cm of trunk per year, this fern will gradually reach its impressive ultimate height of 4 metres. For optimal growth, plant in reliably moist, rich, fertile, and preferably acidic soil, in a sheltered position with dappled or semi-shade – a woodland setting is ideal. Alternatively, plant in containers filled with humus-rich soil, allowing you to move them outdoors during summer and into a greenhouse or conservatory over winter.
