Bracken Fern is a hardy shade-loving fern, a vigorous native fern for naturalised areas. Bracken Fern carries green foliage through the season and performs best in full sun to part shade with low watering once established. This fern matures to roughly 2-4 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide. It is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and damp north-facing corners, offering lush texture in difficult shaded spots. Once established it needs little attention, making Bracken Fern a dependable choice for Canadian gardens. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
