The care secret that transformed my Kimberly Queen Fern

I'd had Kimberly Queen Fern for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to removing dead fronds cleanly at the base in spring and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

exceptional ability to thrive in deep shade became much more pronounced. The plant in a woodland garden understorey planting now looks like a completely different specimen. full lush canopy through summer confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. crown death from frost on tender varieties has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Kimberly Queen Fern is underwhelming, look at removing dead fronds cleanly at the base in spring first.
