I've had this fern for about 5 years, it retains its leaves during winter and grows in dry shade. I cut the old leaves back in spring when I can see the new shoots. I can't find a label for it and want to get another one. Can someone help me with a name please?  |

Polypodium vulgare Thanks very much Steve (I thought you would know ;D) I'm going to the GC on Tuesday so I'll see if I can get another one then. |

It's a handsome fern.
Incidentally Steve, I don't suppose you have any bits of Blechnum chilense do you? Fantastic hardy fern that looks a bit like a cycad, even having thick leathery fronds.
