What fern is that. I’m usually very resourceful, especially when it comes to gardening, but for the life of me, I was not able to identify this fern that I planted several years ago. So wrote to a website and received an answer back within 24 hours. Thank you Neil. Love your sense of humor!
Hello no problem. It is Athyrium filix-femina
‘Cruciatum Group’ ‘Victoriae’ , (Health warning.
Do not try to write the whole name on a small
label as this has been shown to result in high
levels of frustration.)
Regards Neil Timm
When I replied, he sent further info…
P.S. It is called ‘Victoriae’ because it was a 19C
find and the way in which two leaves come
from a single point in a ‘V’ shape is thought to
look like the queen’s monogram.
Regards NT
