The Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) is a very common eastern North American native, and is especially loved because it is evergreen even in severe winters. While not as showy as some others, this fern makes up for it with its neat habit, easy culture, and its lustrous, nearly evergreen leaves.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Christmas Ferns grows best in organically rich, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Consider planting the rhizome at an angle to help combat potential crown rot problems which can occur in poorly drained soils. Although it spreads by underground runners this fern will not spread or naturalize, however clumps will increase in size over time.
