Asplenium scolopendrium 'Angustatum' - 2026

Asplenium scolopendrium ‘Angustatum’ is a compact and elegant cultivar of the hart’s-tongue fern, featuring narrow, upright fronds edged with a subtle ruffle that give it a graceful, textured appearance. This evergreen fern forms tidy, bushy clumps of glossy, bright green leaves that bring delicate structure to shady areas of the garden. With its refined foliage and upright habit, ‘Angustatum’ makes an excellent accent in containers, woodland borders, or as an underplanting beneath shrubs and roses.

Ideal for part shade to full shade, this hardy fern thrives in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soils, and tolerates a range of soil types—including lime-rich or alkaline substrates. Recognised with the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, it’s both reliable and low-maintenance—suited to amateur and experienced gardeners alike. Fully hardy and native to the UK and Ireland, its resilient nature and refined form make it a standout choice for textured, evergreen planting schemes.
