Polypodium Vulgare, also known as ‘Common Polypody Fern’, is a clump forming evergreen fern native to Britain.  It has dark green triangular shaped fronds divided back to the central stem, an excellent ground cover plant and ideal for underplanting any shady spot within the garden.

Looking After Your Polypodium Vulgare

Generally pest and disease free, an easy to grow, low maintenance plant. Ferns in general are moisture loving and require a shady position within the garden, if grown in drier conditions keeping the soil moist is a must. Plant in a humus rich soil, during late Autumn remove all dead or damaged fronds and provide a good mulch of well rotted garden compost. Early Spring is an ideal time to propagate by division or re-locate to a new site for planting, at the same time feeding with a sprinkling of bone-meal or good quality general purpose fertiliser.
