Description
Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) is a handsome and dependable addition to shady gardens and woodlands all year long. It’s particularly welcome in winter, when its clumps of evergreen fronds create a carpet of welcome color and texture among the usual browns and grays of the colder months. It’s a lovely sight in spring, too, when it unfurls its tightly curled new growth (commonly called fiddleheads). The species is native to much of eastern and central North America; these spores are from Bucks County, PA, plants. Partial to full shade. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8 or 9.
2022-collected spores are sold out. I hope to collect again in July 2023. At least 100 spores (likely many more than that, as they are much too tiny to count). PA ecotype.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
