Description
Polystichum polyblepharum, commonly known as the Tassel Fern, is an elegant evergreen fern from the forests of Japan and South Korea. This plant is well-suited to shaded garden areas, thriving in part to full shade and preferring organically rich, consistently moist, well-drained soils. The Tassel Fern typically grows to about 1.5 to 2 feet in height and width, forming a vase-shaped clump of shiny, dark green fronds. These finely divided fronds give the plant a delicate, lacy appearance. One of the most distinctive features of this fern is the way its new fronds unfurl, flipping over backwards to form tassels, which gradually flatten as they mature.
The Tassel Fern is not only appreciated for its ornamental value but also for its resilience. It is relatively low-maintenance, being resistant to deer and rabbits, and can tolerate heavy shade. This makes it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and foundation plantings.
It is important to plant it in well-drained soil to prevent crown rot, especially in winter.

Beautiful deep green fern
"I see no reviews yet for this new product, so this review is for one of these I bought at a local nursery. This is a really pretty fern that's evergreen as you describe it here. I have it in a pot near the back door where it is very happy in the shade. I originally had it in a partial shade spot but it burned badly. It made a pretty good recovery after pruning. I would caution folks to plant it in shade, not half shade/half sun."
