Primrose

Ideal for the woodland garden. Position: partial shade Soil: moist, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: average Hardiness: fully hardy A native, male fern Dryopteris Filix-mas can be found growing naturally in moist woodlands around the UK. This large, deciduous fern has feathery, green fronds which form a distinctive, shuttlecock shape and turn coppery in autumn. It makes a fine companion for shade-loving woodland plants, especially other ferns, and when its leaves die back, the space can be filled with early flowering spring bulbs such as snowdrops. Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost into the planting hole. Cut back decayed fronds in late winter or early spring to allow new growth to emerge.
