Polystichum acrostichoides (Christmas Fern)

This is a robust, leathery fern which has glossy, green fronds year-round. The fronds grow in clusters from a crownless rootstock and range from 1-2 ft. in length.  Christmas fern is very easy to establish and grow where conditions are right. In the right spot, it can be a good, evergreen border or accent plant.
