Christmas fern is a delight to have in the shade garden all year round. The leathery, dark green fronds form neat, medium-sized clumps. The slightly glossy fronds often hold up well enough to cut and use for holiday decorating, hence its common name. Very attractive silvery gray fiddleheads appear in spring. A well-behaved species that combines well with other ferns. Native to the eastern U.S.

Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in light shade to full shade, in acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Amend with compost before planting. Prefers cool sites; tolerates dappled sun if soil stays moist, and tolerant of periodic dry soil once established in the shade. Quite tolerant of shallow or rocky soils, but not clay. Avoid poorly drained soils; good for fighting erosion on shady hillsides. Water reguarly the first season or two to establish. In spring, remove any winter damaged foliage.

Very healthy and nice size plants. They were packaged extremely well and arrived intact with no soil spillage or damage. Very quick shipping. Was having difficulty finding Christmas ferns locally so ordered these and glad we did. I have made 3 additional orders for additional plants and have not been disappointed . My new go to place for mail order plants. Appreciated they are in pots and not bare root as most online retail nurseries ship plants.
