One of the nicest of the holly ferns! The arching, lustrous, olive-colored, evergreen fronds of this Asian woodland treasure contrast nicely with the tan scales of its stalk. This pleasing, strong growing and adaptable fern is prized for its foliage, which forms a distinct 2' clump. This fern looks especially lovely massed, but it very effective as an accent or in a container. PSh-Sh/M
