KOREAN MOUNTAIN FERN

Dryopteris sichotensis – A large Asian forest fern with dark scales and strong, flat growing fronds. Occurs in the undergrowth of forests, in the highlands on loamy soil with high humidity. In the garden it is adaptable and particularly beautiful as a solitary plant with low underplants.

SUBSTRATE & WATERING

Grows under medium or stronger light in moist garden soil or potting mix.

A beautiful species thanks to a cloud of light green leaves in spring

The croziers in spring seem to make a nice bow, just like a sheep hook

A very attractive and easy grown fern. Rather uncommon with upright, gracefully arching, chartreuse aging to soft, dark green fronds This fern gets its botanic name from the area where it comes from, namely the Sicho-te-Alin mountains of eastern Russia.

The plant hunter

Richard Hayward, a famous British fern collector, has enjoyed ferns ever since he encountered them as a boy scout in South Wales and took them to London as souvenirs. After his retirement he owned a small fern farm in North Wales. He still exchanges spores and plants of rare species with other fern enthusiasts.

"I love ferns because of their diversity in shape, foliage, colour and beauty and their enormous urge to survive."
