Polypodium vulgare, commonly known as Common Polypody, is a graceful evergreen fern native to the British Isles and widely found across Europe. Valued for its elegant, deeply lobed fronds, this hardy perennial brings year-round greenery to shaded corners, woodland borders and rocky crevices where many other plants struggle to thrive. It is a recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, reflecting its reliability and garden-worthy performance.

Polypodium vulgare is naturally found growing on mossy walls, tree stumps and rocky banks, making it an excellent choice for naturalising in a woodland garden, underplanting beneath trees, or tucking into gaps in shaded walls and rockeries. It also performs well as evergreen ground cover in borders and containers.
Once established, Common Polypody is a low-maintenance fern that requires very little attention. It tolerates dry shade better than most ferns, making it a versatile and resilient addition to any garden.
