Cyrtomium fortunei var. clivicola
holly fern
This semi-evergreen fern is easy to grow in humus-rich soil and perfect for adding texture and ground cover interest to woodland gardens and shady borders. The 'Clivicola' cultivar, also known as 'Clivicolum', is more compact and arching than the species, with larger, lanceolate, and yellow-green pinnae. Thriving in moist, shady areas, Holly Ferns are great companions to other ferns and woodland plants and are sure to add a unique touch to any garden with reliably moist shade.
How to care for Cyrtomium fortunei var. clivicola:
Remove old fronds in spring to allow the new growth to uncurl. Apply a mulch of well-rotted compost or manure in the spring to help seal in moisture and keep watered during drier spells.
