Ferns are fascinating and ancient plants, being found in fossils from over 140 million years ago. They don't produce seeds or flowers, and instead reproduce using spores. The leaves, known as fronds, begin life curled up tightly in the centre of the plant, and gradually unfurl upwards before arching outwards. Quite a sight!

They will compliment each other beautifully when planted together, and they're also great in pots. They're easy to grow and almost maintenance free too. What's more, all three of these spectacular plants hold an RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you know that these are highly regarded garden plants.
