Polystichum polyblepharum - 2026

Polystichum polyblepharum, commonly known as Japanese Tassel Fern, is an evergreen fern valued for its bold, arching fronds with distinctive, finely serrated leaflets that create a textured, layered appearance. This fern forms dense, attractive clumps, making it perfect for adding structure and interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and damp, sheltered areas. Hardy and low-maintenance, it is ideal for naturalistic plantings and enhances the biodiversity and visual appeal of shaded garden spaces.

Thriving in moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter, Polystichum polyblepharum prefers partial to full shade. It tolerates a range of soil types and conditions, making it a versatile choice for underplanting, woodland-style gardens, and shaded containers. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and adds texture to shady areas.
