Polystichum braunii

commonly known as Holly Fern, is an adaptable and easy-to-grow fern that adds a unique touch to shaded garden spaces. Its fronds emerge with a striking silvery flush, creating a distinctive, almost luminous effect that contrasts beautifully with darker foliage.

Preferring a shady, moist environment, thrives when planted in well-drained, compost-enriched soil, where mulch can help keep the roots cool. Water well to establish and once settled, it is a hardy, evergreen fern that brings beauty and texture to woodland gardens, shaded borders or underplantings.
