Also known as the Christmas fern, and the Dagger fern, Polystichum acrostichoides provides year round interest. Preferring a fully shaded or partially shaded position, it will also tolerate a fair amount of sun, providing the soil is reasonably moist. Unfussy about soil type this very easy to care for evergreen fern forms a neat mound of luscious dark green, leathery and spear like fronds up to 60cm high and wide. Spores on the underside of the earliest, fertile, fronds to uncoil in spring allow the plant to gently build a population without ever becoming an invasive nuisance. Ideal for woodland and shady garden areas, and also very useful for stabilising the soil on exposed banks A British native species
