$8.99
Native fern to Eastern North America. Naturally occurs in both dry and moist wooded slopes, moist banks and ravines.
Typically grows in a fountain-like and neat clump to 2' tall and wide and features leathery, lance-shaped, evergreen shiny leaves. And once established, Christmas Fern is quite drought tolerant. This is clump forming fern, that doesn't spread by rhizomes.
Native to eastern half USA, see the BONAP distribution map.
Drier or moist soils in woodland gardens, shade gardens or any shady areas of borders, wild or native plant gardens, along the walls or foundations, on slopes, shallow soils, helps with erosion control.
Waterlogged soils may cause crown rot, so some drainage is essential.
Can be combined with all shade-loving plants for average to drier soil, and with plants for dry shade. Good companions are Aconitum, Anemone japonica, Anemone virginiana, Actaea (Cimicifuga), Brunnera, Chrysogonum, Epimedium, Eupatorium coelestinum (Conoclinum), Epimedium, Gillenia, Helleborus, Heuchera, Hosta, Iris cristata, Penstemon calycosus, Phlox stolonifera and Phlox divaricata, Spigelia, Uvularia and spring ephemerals (Trillium, Mertensia, Jeffersonia, etc) and grasses like Hakonechloa, Carex, Chasmantium latifolium.
