(part or full shade)   45x45cm

Evergreen with an upright habit and broad leathery fronds of a paler hue than Cyrtomium falcatum. It also has narrower pinnae and enjoys moist humus-rich soil. Old tatty fronds are best removed in spring to allow the new fronds to uncurl. We have found this to be absolutely hardy (to -12C) with no frost or snow damage to the fronds in bad weather. All of the holly ferns are admired and used by flower arrangers. Easy and exotic in appearance.
