Polystichum acrostichoides is a wonderful, easy-to-grow, deer-resistant, US native (Minnesota south to Florida) with sturdy, dark, evergreen fronds emanating from a central point, making a 2' wide clump...particularly effective when used in drifts. The fronds first emerge upright, then flatten with age. Christmas fern (known in PC circles as the Seasonal Holiday Fern) is one of the finest of all evergreen ferns and even retains its attractive appearance all winter...simply superb for woodland gardens, especially those with deep shade areas!
