Description
Dryopteris filix-mas 'Barnesii' is a variety of Male Fern with large size, erect and narrow fronds, somewhat tousled in appearance. Although less delicate than the female fern, this male fern is more robust and certainly stands out. It forms a very elegant clump, with beautifully cut foliage, and does not go unnoticed in the slightly shady areas of the garden. Definitely a good choice, in cool climates, if your garden can accommodate its superb volume!
Dryopteris filix-mas, commonly known as the male fern, is a species belonging to the large family of Dryopteridaceae. Very common in Europe, Asia, and North America, this deciduous or semi-evergreen fern lives in cool, moist, and shaded habitats, along hedges, near ditches, and in leafy or coniferous woodlands. The cultivar 'Barnesii' forms an upright clump, 1.20m (4ft) tall and as wide. Although its growth is quite slow, it spreads over time in large colonies thanks to its creeping rhizomes. It consists of pale green fronds divided twice into more or less serrated leaflets but always rounded at their tips. The petiole and rachis (central vein) of each frond are covered with reddish scales. The fronds emerge from a thick, scaly stump, from an erect rhizome in a crown shape. The vegetation is deciduous to semi-evergreen, depending on the severity of the winter.
Dryopteris filix-mas, not demanding in terms of soil type, is very easy to grow in all shady and cool to moist places, but in fertile and well-drained soil. Elegant yet sturdy, it is perfect for slightly neglected areas of the garden, where it will thrive under the cover of trees. The 'Barnesii' cultivar can also be planted not far from a water source, alongside Rodgersia, Solomon's Seals, or silver candles. It forms very beautiful compositions in woodlands, placed next to Astilbe arendsii 'Burgundy Red', a fern with feathery foliage like Athyrium filix-femina, or blue Himalayan poppies.

Planting and care
Among the ferns of the temperate zones of the world, the male fern is certainly the most widespread and, it must be said, one of the easiest to cultivate. The 'Barnesii' cultivar can be planted in spring or autumn, in shade or partial shade, in a light and fertile soil, without drying out too much in summer. This plant is not too demanding on the nature of the soil; it adapts well to clayey, loamy, or sandy soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
