Fern Christmas

Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) is a hardy, evergreen fern valued for its dark green, glossy fronds that provide year-round interest. Its upright, clumping habit makes it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized plantings.

Thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. This low maintenance, shade-loving outdoor plant is perfect for adding texture and greenery to shaded landscapes.

Maintenance Tip:
Water consistently after planting and keep soil evenly moist. Remove old or damaged fronds in early spring to make way for new growth. Mulch to retain moisture and protect roots, especially during dry periods.
