Christmas Ferns Polystichum Acrostichoides

Bare-root plants are shipped without soil around their roots while they are in a dormant state. This method is highly effective for ferns, as it reduces weight and stress on the plant, allowing them to establish quickly once planted in your garden.

No, Christmas Ferns are woodland plants that prefer partial to full shade. Exposure to direct, intense sunlight can scorch their fronds and cause the plants to struggle, so they are best suited for shaded areas of your landscape.

Yes, they are considered evergreen perennials, meaning their lush green fronds will persist throughout the winter in most regions. In colder climates, the fronds may lay flat against the ground during the winter months before standing upright again in the spring.

Because these are harvested per order to ensure freshness, you should plant them as soon as possible after delivery. If you cannot plant them immediately, keep the roots moist and store them in a cool, dark place for no more than a day or two.

Christmas Ferns thrive in rich, well-draining soil that is high in organic matter. If your soil is heavy clay or very sandy, mixing in some compost or leaf mold during planting will help provide the nutrients and moisture retention these ferns prefer.
