Nephrolepis ‘Arctic Jungle’

Not all ferns are shy and retiring — ‘Arctic Jungle’ proves it. With bold, upright fronds that reach skyward before arching elegantly, this hardy sword fern brings both texture and movement to shady spots. Its fresh green foliage stays lush for months on end, creating that cool, damp jungle feel even when the rest of the garden is baking.

Unlike its more delicate cousins, ‘Arctic Jungle’ has real backbone. In UK gardens it thrives in partial to full shade with moist, humus-rich soil. Apparently hardy to around –5 once established, it’s tough enough to overwinter outside in mild sheltered areas, especially with a mulch to keep the crown snug. Perfect for woodland gardens, jungle borders, or as a statement pot plant that screams “lush and leafy.”

Resilient, dramatic, and always fresh — the fern that makes shade feel alive.
