About this plant

Christmas Fern is an evergreen native fern that thrives in full to partial shade with average to moist, well-drained soil. Its leathery, dark green fronds resemble those of a Boston Fern and remain attractive through winter, providing year-round interest. Remarkably adaptable, this fern grows well in both moist and dry soils once established. Its compact, clumping habit makes it perfect for edging woodland paths, rock gardens, and foundation plantings.
