From China comes this unusual evergreen polystichum species that has still to be positively identified. Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds gave it the cultivar name Polystichum 'Spiny Holly', which has been mistakenly written Polystichum 'Shiny Holly' in other catalogs. What we know is that it is similar to Polystichum neolobatum but much more adaptable to hot humid summers. Polystichum 'Spiny Holly' makes a splendid, 18" wide clump of very thick, glossy fronds. The edge of the fronds are so stiff that they appear to have tiny spines...most unusual...perfect for the woodland rock garden.
