Why Choose Large Ferns for Your Garden

Large ferns are celebrated for their architectural form and their ability to thrive in low-light conditions, making them perfect for New Zealand gardens. Their bold, arching fronds create a sense of depth and movement, while their evergreen nature offers year-round interest. Large ferns such as the notorious Adiantum formosum (Giant Maidenhair Fern) can grow over a metre tall, making them perfect statement plants for sheltered gardens and courtyards.

Tips for Growing Large Ferns

Most large ferns prefer dappled light, well-draining soil rich in organic matter, and regular moisture. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Feed your ferns with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in spring for the healthiest growth. Regularly remove old or damaged fronds to keep your plants tidy and thriving.

Investing in large ferns not only enhances your property’s aesthetic and privacy, but also supports local biodiversity by providing shelter for beneficial insects and birds. Browse our collection today to find the perfect fern for your space.
