You know those spots in the landscape that are so shrouded in shade it seems nothing is going to grow? The rich green color and soft texture of Christmas Fern thrives best there, turning a lonely crevasse into a quiet, meditative spot in the landscape. It is a very hardy plant that stays green in the face of chilly weather. In fact, it was originally named because early New England settlers used the frothy fronds as a beautiful Christmas decoration. It forms in a fountain-shaped clump, nice among other ferns or as a lush evergreen border. Polystichum acrostichoides
