Boldly textured and intensely colored fronds would be mistaken for an Oregon Holly if cut and displayed sans plant. Native to warmer regions, it is fully evergreen in mild climates. Glossy, thick, leathery foliage is a welcome foil for varieties of a more delicate composition. Prefers filtered light and consistently moist but quickly draining soil.
Judith Jones originally introduced us to this the Asiatic counterpart of the cultivated native species. The green, feathery dissected fronds grow to 5 feet. The handsome fertile leaves mature from shiny bronze to brown by winter. Remaining erect after the sterile fronds have died back for the season, the leaves are frequently incorporated in our holiday wreaths.
A superb evergreen Asian species, long cultivated in bright windows as a pot plant in colder climates. In climates that can accommodate it, it thrives in a semi-shaded site in evenly moist soil, presenting pale green leathery sickle-shaped leaflets (pinnae) along stems rising to 2 ft. In regard to textural qualities and long life, Cyrtomium is simply top-notch and should be encountered more often than it is.
The fronds, ôpaintedö with a dark violet red interior, have contrasting bright silver edges, creating the aura of a ferny tapestry. The twisted pinnules give each frond a fluffy look. Thrives in summer humidity in moist, well-drained soils and is partial to full shade
A volunteer at the New England Wildflower Society discovered this new fern that is all the rage. Lacy green foliage is held high above blood-red stems for a fresh look in the shaded garden. Tough as nails and easy to grow, is an excellent choice for perennial borders, woodland gardens, or slightly drier locations other ferns won't establish. Prefers moist, humusy soil for outstanding growth. Loves container culture.
These striking, handsomely cut and lacy 36-inch fronds add texture and visual rhythm to the summer garden. In spring they unfurl in shades of brilliant chartreuse ùbefore shifting to a deeper glossy green. Little-known, the species merits much broader use. For humus-rich, cool soil.
