Christmas Fern: The Christmas fern gets its name from its evergreen state, which remains unapologetically green even after most other perennial plants enter winter dormancy.

Members of the Polystichum genus are some of the hardiest ferns, with remarkable tolerance to cold or other unfavorable conditions. Better yet, they require little help from you to thrive for many seasons. All they ask of you is water during the hot or dry stretches during the year.

Christmas Fern has a lush evergreen appearance.

The leaves of Christmas ferns are dark green with a lighter green. The fern's heads are also green and covered in silvery white scales, which release upon opening.

The leaflet of a Christmas Fern is a petite and round shape. It has twenty to thirty-five pairs of leaflets arranged alternately along its stem. Its leaflets are one-and-a-half inches long and have a lobe near the base. They also have bristle-tipped teeth on their margins and may have a variable form with a slight twist. As old fronds expire, new fronds will unfurl, creating a consistently green appearance all year.

Generally, the size will top out at around two feet, making it one of the little ferns we carry at TN Nursery.

How to Use Polystichumacrostichoidesin Your Landscape

The Christmas Fern is native to hardwood forests but also performs well in many applications in your yard, provided you provide sufficient shade.

● Use the Christmas Fern as a ground cover plant: Place Polystichumacrostichoidesin any location too heavily shaded for other species to thrive. These shade-lovers will perform well in the shade.

● Plant Christmas ferns in pots or containers: These plants can expand to about two feet in width, so choose a planter with a broad opening to accommodate that size.

● Shade gardens: Use the Christmas fern in a border within your shade garden or as a stand-alone specimen that will attract notice during the otherwise dull winter months.

● Deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant plantings: If you have an issue with local fauna nibbling at your favorite plants, consider the Christmas fern, which they seem not to prefer.
