Whether you’re looking to enhance your garden with a hardy, shade-loving fern or add a bit of greenery to an indoor space, Cyrtomium fortunei (Japanese Holly Fern) is a fantastic choice. Unlike many ferns that go dormant in winter, Cyrtomium fortunei is evergreen, providing a steady supply of lush greenery year-round. Its vibrant, leathery fronds retain their rich green colour even in the colder months, ensuring that your garden or home remains vibrant throughout the year. It’s the perfect plant for those who want a stunning, low-maintenance fern that thrives in cooler, shadier spots. Height: 40cm (16″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only. The winner of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, Cyrtomium fortunei produces upright ‘shuttlecocks’ of light green leathery fronds with contrasting black stems. Plant ferns in a sheltered spot. Choose a position in dappled shade on fertile, moist, acid or neutral soil that is rich in organic matter, so add some well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting.
