One of the outstanding ferns for the garden is Asplenium australasicum – Crow’s Nest Fern. If you would like to create a tropical or jungle look, this is the plant for you. Asplenium australasicum sends out large fronds from a central point, making a superb nest-shaped plant – hence the name. They make excellent feature plants in the garden in a shaded rockery or beneath large trees. The large bold foliage makes this an excellent structural plant and a mature clump can be dramatic addition to the garden. Being versatile, they can grow in trees, on rocks, in containers as well as in well-drained, moist soil. Fertilize with a liquid seaweed fertilizer in spring and again in late summer. A slow-release type in spring could also be used. Plants should be kept moist.
