Wollaston's Proliferous Shield Fern (Polystichum setiferum 'Proliferum Wollastonii')
Wollaston's Proliferous Shield Fern (Polystichum setiferum 'Proliferum Wollastonii')
A lovely, lacy selection of P. setiferum with a triangular blade and slightly overlapping pinnae, though slightly more open than plumosum types and not as finely divided as divisilobum types. As with other cultivars of P. setiferum it makes a wonderful addition to the woodland and border gardens and tolerates slightly dryish shade. Avoid excessive overhead moisture during the growing season as the lacy fronds can trap moisture and be susceptible to frond rot.
Frond Condition: Evergreen
Origin: United Kingdom and Europe
Mature size: 2’, upright to slightly arching fronds
Cultural Requirements: Part Sun to Full Shade, Moist to Slightly Dryish
USDA Zones: 6, 7, 8
