Polystichum acrostichoides
Christmas fern
While not as showy as some others, this fern makes up for it with its neat habit, easy culture, and its lustrous, nearly evergreen leaves. Often used in Christmas floral arrangements because it is still attractive in December. It is a wonderful companion for spring blooming bulbs. Found in acid to neutral soils on shaded slopes and well drained flats.
