Holly Fern

McBrayer Landscapes

Reaches 24 to 36 in. tall, 18 in. wide. Full to partial shade. Popular for its hardiness and handsome foliage, this fern makes an excellent groundcover or border edging in shady locations. Stiff, erect dark green shiny fronds of holly-like leaflets with coarsely fringed margins. Adds great texture to container plantings. Evergreen in mild winter climates.
