Blechnum minus is a hardy NZ native fern commonly found along stream banks and the edges of swamps. This attractive fern features new fronds that emerge with a distinctive reddish-pink hue, adding vibrant colour to shaded or damp garden spots.

A low-maintenance and versatile plant, Swamp Kio Kio thrives in cold climates and is tolerant of exposed sites, making it ideal for mass planting under trees or along garden borders. Its evergreen, arching fronds provide year-round greenery and texture, especially in damp, well-drained soils.

Perfect for naturalistic plantings or as a lush ground cover in shaded areas, it is an excellent choice for enhancing woodland gardens or native plantings.
