Christmas ferns have leathery, dark green, lance-shaped fronds. Often used by florists in fresh and dried arrangements. Plant in humus-rich, loamy, moist but well-drained soil in part to full shade. They will tolerate a fair amount of sunlight if the soil is kept reasonably moist.
Divide plants in spring, replanting the rhizomes just below the soil. These ferns make wonderful accents in the shade garden, reaching a full size of 2-3 ft. Plant them with hostas, astie, bleeding hearts, foam flowers (Tiarella), lungworts (Pulmonaria), Tradescantia, and Tricyrtis or mix with other ferns.
