Polystichum polyblepharum / TASSEL FERN
Polystichum polyblepharum, commonly known as Tassel Fern, is an elegant evergreen fern with distinctive, arching fronds that give it a soft, graceful appearance in the garden. The fern's fronds are narrow and deep green, with a unique, almost tasseled appearance at the tips of the leaflets, giving it its name. In late spring, it produces spore-bearing structures on the underside of the fronds, adding subtle interest to the lush foliage. Tassel Fern thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as an underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. With its unique texture, rich green color, and ease of care, Polystichum polyblepharum is a striking addition to any shaded or woodland landscape.
