NEW! - Fern Japanese Tassel - Polystichum polyblepharum Now here’s a cute new hardy fern offered for the first time at Greenwood. The Japanese Tassel Fern is sometimes called a holly fern because of its evergreen status, just like a holly. Fuzzy stems describe this dependable and hardy glossy dark green garden fern that lends elegance to the shade border.

Grows in part shade to deep shade and is used a lot for green foliage in your flower arrangements. Tassel is native to the northeast, deer resistant and a medium grower to 12-18 inches in height with a matching spread.

How to Grow: Tassel ferns grow best in moist humus rich well drained soil. They can be grown in shade or part shade, as long as their moisture requirements are met. Plants spread slowly making beautiful stands of graceful fronds. Transplant crowns in the spring and early summer, planting them right at the level of the soil.

Landscape uses: Use Tassel ferns as a shaded border in the garden. They work well with hostas or in the bog garden with ligularia, rodgersia, and other large, bold perennials.
