The forked mail fern, Dryopteris filix-mas 'Furcans' is a lovely, vase-shaped fern bearing clumps of elegant fronds with finely divided pinnules, forked at the tip. Tolerant of sun and shade, it’s perfect for growing in a range of habits, including herbaceous and woodland borders.
Grow Dryopteris filix-mas 'Furcans' in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade to full sun. Trim back old fronds in spring before new growth emerges. Learn more in our ferns grow guide.
