The fern is lovely and healthy, it was watered before delivery and well packaged. Went straight into my garden. Couldn't be happier!
I think I need more of these. I just wanted something for a shady spot but this fern is gorgeous.
Great value and arrived within 3 days of order. Very happy with my purchase.
Nice healthy looking fern, good size for the price, well packed and delivered next day!
