Grows 18" - 24" ht. & sp.
Holly Fern is a vase-shaped evergreen fern with glossy, arching fronds that thrive in low light. Very attractive appearance and also low-maintenance, this easily grown, scaly fern does well in loose, fertile, moist soils in shade to part shade.
Seldom damaged by deer or rabbits, Holly Ferns can be used as a border in rock and shade gardens, in part to full shade ponds and slopes, in woodland gardens, and even as houseplants.

Newly emerging fronds of the Autumn Fern are coppery-pink. Mature fronds are dark green. Can be evergreen in mild climates. Easy to grow and looks great in mass plantings and in woodland gardens. Tolerates poorer conditions and dry spells better than most ferns. Prefers medium to wet soils in part shade to full shade.
