Cyrtomium falcatum / HOLLY FERN
Cyrtomium falcatum, commonly known as Holly Fern, is an evergreen fern native to East Asia that is prized for its glossy, leathery fronds that resemble holly leaves. The dark green, arching fronds have a distinctive, spiny appearance, adding texture and a bold statement to shaded or woodland gardens. Holly Fern thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for low-light areas or as an underplanting for trees and shrubs. Its tolerance to a range of growing conditions, including drought once established, makes it a versatile and hardy addition to various landscapes. With its striking foliage and ability to maintain year-round greenery, Cyrtomium falcatum brings both beauty and resilience to shaded garden spaces.
