Polystichum acrostichoides, our native Christmas Fern, is probably the best know of this group and in our area is the most common. The shiny, dark green fronds are Boston Fern look alikes, held upright initially, gradually flattening out. Ideal for the shady rockery, this clump former doesn’t spread but will also tolerate the somewhat drier and sunnier places that most ferns would shun. The evergreen fronds were used in holiday decorations.

Nursery Propagated Ferns - We do not sell ferns, or any other plants for that matter, that have been collected in the wild. All of our ferns have been nursery propagated. This not only protects wild populations, but potted, nursery propagated ferns are much easier to establish in the garden than plants dug in the wild and shipped bareroot.
