Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) is a classic, evergreen woodland fern known for its lush, arching fronds that stay green even through winter. As a native species, it thrives in shaded areas, making it ideal for woodland gardens, under trees, borders, and naturalized landscapes.

This hardy perennial is low-maintenance, adaptable, and long-lived. Once established, it tolerates periods of dryness and provides year-round structure and texture. Its dense root system also makes it excellent for erosion control on slopes and shaded hillsides.
