A Festive Little Holly Fern

Cyrtomium falcatum ssp. littorale is a dwarf, cold hardy, rock garden-sized form of the common holly fern. Our oldest specimens of this evergreen gem, have topped out at 8″ tall x 15″ wide. While it grows fine in regular soil, it also thrives in rock crevices, where it tolerates several hours of full sun. It’s been six years since we’ve propagated this, so it’s probably time to put it back in a future PDN catalog. This is a form, first offered by the late plantsman, Don Jacobs, as Cyrtomium ‘Eco Korean Jade’.
