Dryopteris affinis 'Cristata The King' - Golden Male Fern

Dryopteris affinis 'Crisata The King' is a true standout for shaded gardens, offering texture and structure with effortless style. This fern forms a handsome shuttlecock of arching fronds, each 10-15cm across, finished with distinctive crested tips that give it a beautifully detailed appearance. One of the more attractive cultivars, it is also virtually evergreen, providing year-round interest throughout the year.

Perfect for creating a lush woodland feel, it works wonderfully alongside hostas and other shade-loving perennials. Reliable and easy to grow, it thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in a sheltered spot. Plant in partial shade and keep the soil consistently damp for the best results.

Supplied in approx. 2 litre containers.
