Holly Fern, Japanese Holly Fern

Leathery leaves with nettled veins cover these easy-to-grow ferns. Their shiny foliage contrasts nicely with other ferns. Plant the rapid growers outdoors in mild climates in moderately loose soil. Need protection in northern regions. Often grown in containers indoors. In warm rooms, give extra humidity. Remove faded fronds.

This fern's lance-shaped, glossy fronds with toothed edges resemble Holly leaves. Young fronds are often covered with whitish or brown scales. Reaches 12 to 24 inches tall.
