Asplenium scolopendrium, commonly known as the hart's tongue fern, is a captivating evergreen fern celebrated for its unique, tongue-like fronds that boast a glossy dark green hue. This striking foliage adds a touch of elegance to shaded, moist areas of the garden, making it a favored choice for those seeking to enhance their landscape with a touch of sophistication.

Reaching a height of 60 cm (2 ft) and a spread of 45 cm (1.5 ft), this clumping fern exhibits an upright growth habit, characterized by its simple, undivided leaves adorned with wavy edges. Its evergreen nature ensures that it provides year-round texture and color, enriching the garden even in the colder months. Thriving in partial to full shade, Asplenium scolopendrium flourishes in woodland settings or shaded garden spots, preferring moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.

This hardy plant is not only a visual delight but also serves practical purposes in the garden. It is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, rock gardens, and container arrangements, while also offering shelter to small insects and contributing positively to shaded ecosystems. With minimal maintenance required—simply removing old or damaged fronds in spring—this fern is a luxurious addition that enhances both beauty and biodiversity in any garden setting.

Grow in full to partial shade in freely draining soil. Water regularly until established. Cut back any dead fronds in the spring.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Large Non-standard items may incur a higher, lorry delivery charge. Charges will be calculated at checkout, but an example of the lorry charges are listed below.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
