Polystichum polyblepharum (Korean Tassel Fern)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 5b-9 18" tall Origin: Korea

This is probably the most attractive fern we grow, so why is it so hard to describe? The dark, evergreen, plasticillate (made that one up) foliage arches out from a central crown, forming a 24" wide deer-resistant clump. Each frond is a lacily-cut, artistic masterpiece...this sounds pretty syrupy, doesn't it? Actually, the species name "polyblepharum" means "many eyelashes"...does that help? How about saying, "It's just the best damn fern you will ever buy!" Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
