Found in Japan, Korea and parts of China, Cyrtomium fortunei is a hardy, semi-evergreen fern with an upright ‘shuttlecock’ habit, black stems and unusual, broad, rather holly-like ‘leaflets’ on the fronds. These are bright green and glossy, turning darker as they age. The Japanese holly fern is slightly exotic-looking and very attractive with other, contrasting ferns in a shady border. In mild areas, the fronds will persist through winter, but in any case remove them before the bright new growth unfurls. Do not allow it to dry out. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
