About Crested King Fern
The Crested King Fern, scientifically known as Dryopteris cristata The King, is a truly regal addition to any garden. This fern is celebrated for its large, crested fronds that unfurl in a stunning display of lush, green foliage. The unique cresting at the tips of the fronds gives this fern its distinguished appearance, making it a standout feature in any shaded garden area.
Native to the woodlands of North America, The Crested King Fern thrives in cool, shaded environments and adds a touch of elegance to woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a ground cover beneath trees. This fern is an average grower, making it ideal for creating a layered, natural look in your garden.
The Dryopteris cristata 'The King' prefers moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry spells. It performs best in shaded to partially shaded locations, where its fronds can maintain their lush, deep green colour throughout the growing season. Mulching around the base of the plant helps to retain moisture and protect the roots, ensuring robust growth.
At Prickle, we're passionate about helping you nurture every plant in your garden. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us @prickleplantsuk.
