‘Rough ruby’ is a vibrant Doodia, that is widely appreciated for its gleaming pinky-red fronds. Beginning as a deep green, they later transform as the seasons pass by, developing in bushy clumps. The perfect shrub for planting in patio pots, coastal and woodland themed landscapes, you can also try using as attractive ground cover. Developing to a height and spread of 50cm, keep positioned in dappled shade where it will thrive. We don’t normally associate ferns with colour, but Doodia aspera ‘Rough Ruby’ not only delivers interesting foliage shape and texture but wonderful colour too. Plant in partial to full shade in fertile, moist soil in a sheltered position or in a container that can be moved into a frost-free position over winter. 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. Will cope with short periods of drought. Not fully hardy - plant can withstand temperatures down to -5°C (23°F). Cover crowns with mulch during winter to protect them from frost.

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.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

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.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.
