Tasmanian Tree Fern, from £10.75 for a 3-litre pot
The Tasmanian Tree Fern is perfect for shady conservatories and mild gardens. Dicksonia Antarctica has been grown in England for decades now, and some, particularly in cities or towns, have survived extreme winters. However, that doesn’t mean they are cast iron – protect from the wind and use a bale of straw in winter to protect the plant.Available from: Architectural Plants

Six of the Best: Ferns
Evergreen or perennial, delicate or giant, ferns provide a versatile way to add colour and elegance to any garden space. Usually best suited to shady, damp corners of the garden, there is a growing selection of tropical ferns that can tolerate bright sunshine and, as long as you give them a bit of protection in the depths of winter, these plants can give your patio or garden that tropical feel.Click on the pictures for more information
