Polystichum setiferum | Alaskan Fern

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Polystichum setiferum is an elegant evergreen fern valued for its finely textured, feathery fronds. The arching, lance-shaped fronds are light green when young, maturing to a deeper green, and are soft to the touch. Although ferns do not flower, this species offers year-round interest with its lush foliage and layered appearance.

Native to Europe, particularly the shaded woodlands and damp environments of the British Isles, Polystichum setiferum is well-suited to temperate climates. Its adaptable nature and delicate frond structure make it a popular choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalistic plantings.
