It thrives in shaded, sheltered spots with moist, well-drained soil, making it perfect for forest-style gardens or damp areas. This evergreen fern creates a tropical, native feel and provides excellent understorey coverage. Hardy and slow-growing, Ponga is an iconic feature in NZ landscapes and adds a timeless, natural charm.
