Polystichum acrostichoides
Christmas Fern
Christmas Fern has green, shiny foliage. Young fiddleheads in spring are silvery and scaled. Polystichum acrostichoides is evergreen and looks like a Boston Fern. It will not spread or naturalize, but in time the clumps will increase in size. Songbirds will use parts and scale-like hairs in nest construction. Christmas Fern hugs the ground in winter.
PRN Preferred: We love the hardiness and the neat evergreen foliage of this fern.
