Christmas Fern

Provides shaded areas with rich green color at Christmas and throughout the winter months. Christmas Fern, also known as Polystichum acrostichoides, is a very hardy evergreen fern with lance-shaped leaflets in dense clusters. Native to the United States, this is an excellent perennial for woodland gardens, shade gardens and native plant areas. Tolerant of dryish and moist soils, the Christmas Fern can also be planted along shaded foundations or planted in large groups on slopes for erosion control. Deer tend to avoid this low-maintenance plant.
