Plant description
This semi-evergreen fern is easy to grow in humus-rich soil and perfect for adding texture and ground cover interest to woodland gardens and shady borders. The 'Clivicola' cultivar, also known as 'Clivicolum', is more compact and arching than the species, with larger, lanceolate, and yellow-green pinnae. Thriving in moist, shady areas, Holly Ferns are great companions to other ferns and woodland plants and are sure to add a unique touch to any garden with reliably moist shade.
