Cyrtomium falcatum 'Rochfordianum' Japanese Holly Fern - Qt. Pots - Flat of 10
Cyrtomium falcatum 'Rochfordianum', commonly known as Japanese Holly Fern, is a striking evergreen fern prized for its glossy, dark green fronds that arch gracefully like the leaves of holly. Unlike the delicate fronds of many other ferns, 'Rochfordianum' boasts thick, leathery, holly-shaped leaflets that gleam with a rich, waxy finish—making it a standout in the shade garden. Resilient and refined, this fern thrives in moist, well-drained soil and handles dappled shade with elegance, lending structure and luster to woodland settings, shaded borders, or container plantings.
Not only is it deer-resistant and low-maintenance, but it also serves as a superb year-round accent in sheltered outdoor spaces or as a bold, textural houseplant. Japanese Holly Fern weathers winter with more poise than most of its kin, remaining attractive even when the rest of the garden slumbers. Ready to elevate your shady retreat with timeless, polished charm? Plant Cyrtomium falcatum 'Rochfordianum' today and let its evergreen elegance shine through every season.

Comments: Gardeners should know that Cyrtomium falcatum, or Japanese Holly Fern, is one of the few ferns that truly thrives in deep shade while offering a bold, architectural presence year-round. Its leathery, glossy fronds resist pests and drought better than most ferns once established, and it’s even tolerant of salt spray—making it a solid choice for coastal gardens. Though hardy in USDA zones 6 to 10, it appreciates a bit of winter mulch in colder areas. Whether tucked beneath shrubs, edging a path, or potted on a shaded patio, this fern quietly commands attention with very little fuss.
