Dryopteris kuratae is a striking perennial, that is much loved for its arching, bright lime fronds. They develop in bushy clumps and are borne upon slender, black stems. Easy to care for, yet bold in appearance and colour changing throughout the seasons, be sure to incorporate into borders, patio pots and coastal gardening schemes for some extra texture and vibrancy. Progressing to a maximum height and spread of 80cm, keep positioned in semi shade where it will flourish. Dryopteris kuratae is a large, hardy evergreen fern from East Asia that offers lush greenery and foliage texture throughout the year. Plant in partial shade in fertile, moist, acid or neutral, soil. Ferns prefer a soil that is rich in organic matter so add some well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting.
