Christmas Fern

Polystichum acrostichoides

Christmas Fern is a robust, native fern that maintains its lush green appearance even through winter, hence its festive name. This fern's fronds are glossy and dark green, growing in a neat, arching clump that can reach up to 2 feet in both height and spread. It is an ideal groundcover for shaded areas, thriving under tree canopies and along shaded slopes where other plants might struggle. Its resistance to pests and diseases and its adaptability to a range of soil types make it a popular choice for low-maintenance and naturalistic plantings.
