Christmas Fern

Christmas Fern

Polystichum acrostichoides

This selection is the most cold-hardy of the evergreen native ferns: its bold, lustrous fronds stay green through winter, making it the most reliable fern for year-round foliage interest in shaded borders.

  • Evergreen fronds maintain rich dark green colour through the most severe winters
  • Bold, leathery pinnae with a distinctive 'stocking' shape
  • Forms a tidy clump, does not spread aggressively
  • Highly adaptable, tolerates dry shade, poor soil, and deep root competition
  • Named for its evergreen presence through the Christmas holiday season
