This magnificent evergreen tree fern (deciduous only in the coldest gardens) forms a stout, reddish-brown trunk topped with a dramatic terminal rosette of arching, deeply divided fronds reaching up to 3m in length. New fronds unfurl slowly from the crown each spring, offering a genuinely fascinating spectacle as they open. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, it brings an unmistakably exotic, prehistoric feel to any planting scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e'Antarctica' is slow-growing, adding only a few centimetres of trunk each year, but given time it will reach a substantial 2.5–4m in height and spread. It thrives in full or partial shade in a sheltered position, away from cold winds and scorching sun, in reliably moist, humus-rich, acid to neutral soil — it dislikes drying out. Reasonably hardy in mild UK gardens, though winter protection is worthwhile in harder winters: wrapping the crown and trunk with straw or fleece helps see it through the coldest spells. A superb focal point for woodland gardens, courtyards, or sheltered exotic borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach plant is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51883414913302,"sku":"heg1789514106297","price":56.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/5520\/5654\/files\/dicksonia-antartica---tree-fern-with-small-trunk-24cm-pot_1.jpg?v=1789514110","url":"https:\/\/abstractartoutfit.shop\/products\/dicksonia-antartica-tree-fern-with-small-trunk-24cm-pot","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
