Athyrium filix-femina and Cultivars

With his life-long interest in ferns, Ian has written a fascinating book on Athyrium filix-femina and its many ‘cultivars’. This authoritative publication has chapters on the long history, Botany and Cultivation of this popular fern, the book also looks at methods of propagation, the discovery of Apospory, the breeding of Druery’s ‘Superbum’ strain and much more. It also has over 170 cultivars, illustrated and described with full colour throughout. This publication has been long overdue and the British Pteridological Society has now finally filled this gap. This comprehensive book will appeal to anyone interested in fern cultivars and will make an excellent gift!
