Tassel Fern
Polystichum polyblepharum
1 gallon pot

Evergreen. Glossy, dark green fronds hold an elegant shape for year round interest. A beautiful accent in pots or edging a woodland border.
 
An evergreen fern native to Japan and southern Korea. It features shiny, bipinnate, dark green fronds (to 1-2’ long) with finely divided but overlapping pinnae. It grows in an outward-spreading, vase-shaped clump to 24” tall and 24” wide. Crosiers flip over backwards to form tassels as the newly emerging fronds unfurl, hence the common name of tassel fern for this plant. Tassels disappear as fronds flatten with maturity
