I thought I would do a update on my 3ft C Medullarsi I purchased at the start of the year.
It as started to get its roots in to the soil and pushing out fronds.
Hopefully more fronds this year.

Its a beauty. Pleased to see its rooting well.

I think I'm going to have to keep it walm through winter to let it build up strength.

If you keep it in there with a frost guard heater it should be fine. Mine carried on pushing out a crozier although it was slowly.

Yes but it's not got to many roots and I don't want to put it trough the stress of winter, I think it will have to become a house plant.

John, I think cheap and medularis are words not often found in the same sentence! however if you get lucky let me know

I have had reasonable success with brownii and think I am now ready to try a medularis!

You could try Sheila Tiffin, she grows all her ferns from spores and has a good rep, down side is that the plants are small (medularis grows very quickly though) and she spends most of the time "Sold Out" as she is locally so popular

Check out Crews Hill Gardeners Club, EN2 9BQ....
I got a Brownii & Cooperii there last year £69 & £99, large plants to overwinter but I am going to try.
They look magnificent at the moment.
Its a lucky dip as to whats in stock there but they are cheap, and you may find yourself satisfied.

Other than that maybe Simon

Amulree in the January sale.
