Transform shady corners of your garden with this collection of six Soft Shield Fern (Polystichum setiferum) plants. Renowned for their graceful, finely divided fronds that arch elegantly from a central crown, these ferns bring lush, year-round greenery to areas where many other plants struggle. Each plant is supplied as a well-established 1 litre root-ball, ready to plant out and settle in quickly.


Polystichum setiferum is one of the most reliable and attractive native British ferns, widely celebrated for its soft-textured, shuttlecock-like habit. The mid-green fronds are beautifully detailed with delicate pinnae, creating a layered, feathery appearance that adds texture and depth to borders, woodland plantings and containers. As a fully hardy evergreen, it retains its foliage throughout winter, providing structure and interest even in the coldest months.


These ferns are exceptionally low-maintenance once established. They thrive in moist, humus-rich soil and are perfectly suited to shaded and partially shaded positions beneath trees, along north-facing walls or tucked into sheltered borders. They combine beautifully with hostas, heucheras, hellebores and other shade-loving perennials.

Don’t leave your dog unsupervised with these!
Color: Multicolour20
Some of the toys I noticed break apart easily. I got these for my 4 month old puppy and they are definitely not chew resistant but he had so much fun playing with them. Some toys squeak. The toys are super cute but I don’t recommend letting your dog play with them without supervising because it can definitely be a choking hazard with how easily he tore them up. He normally doesn’t tear toys up easy so I won’t be buying again but he had fun with it while it lasted. Most toys had to be thrown away within 2-3 weeks.

Great quality and flavor
Color: 3PC-Bacon-Brown, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
I have two dogs that can chew through everything within a day. Not these, going on four days now, there are signs of wear and tear but still intact. The dogs love the flavor.

Dog is Happy!
Color: 3PC-Peanut Butter-Green, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
My dog likes the bones, especially because they are peanut butter-flavored. The bones are very strong and well-made, so they are good for heavy chewers. By the way, these bones are very large for big dogs only!
