Experienced grower's notes on Kimberly Queen Fern

I've been growing plants seriously for over fifteen years and Kimberly Queen Fern remains a reliable favourite. For anyone starting out: the most critical thing is maintaining consistent moisture without waterlogging. Everything else follows from that.

crown death from frost on tender varieties is the challenge that trips up most beginners and some experienced growers too. I've been growing mine in a fern wall or vertical garden in a shaded courtyard for three seasons now and the results are consistently good. exceptional ability to thrive in deep shade is what makes it worth coming back to year after year. full lush canopy through summer is when I show it off — it earns its place fully then.
