Polystichum polyblepharum (Korean Tassel Fern)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 6-9 18" tall Origin: Korea

New crop available 7-31-2008 This is probably the most attractive fern that we grow, so why is it so hard to describe? The dark, evergreen, plasticillate (made that one up) foliage arches out from a central crown, forming a 24" wide clump. Each frond is a lacily-cut, artistic masterpiece...this sounds pretty syrupy, doesn't it? Actually, the species name "polyblepharum" means many eyelashes...does that help? How about saying, "It's just the best damn fern that you will ever buy!" Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
