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.
