Polystichum acrostichoides
Christmas fern
The fronds of Christmas fern emerge red in the early spring and mature to a glossy green. This fern is tolerant of dry shade, and is prized as a "solution plant" that has the added bonus of remaining green year-round, shedding the previous year's leaves only once new growth has commenced in the spring.
