Sure it will look great alongside your lovely Griffin ..so hardy have one of those Japanese painted ferns also and they all survived the snow and frost.

From Yorkshire with a name like that ? Mind you a lady called Christa presents our local news ..

Doubt it but she s lovely - its Ok Jane agrees she works with a lot of men so would probably agree that she s often kept in the dark and fed ....

LOL.

I moved one of the Woodwardia today - I found a place with no root, thank goodness, so they are welcome to grow...and grow...
