Polystichum polyblepharum
Japanese Tassle Fern
Like most ferns it loves cool shade & damp rich soil.
Ideal for our weather & environment. Like the majority of ferns it likes evenly moist humusy soil, but in winter it is somewhat drought-tolerant & could even be harmed by excesses of moistness.
The crosiers of the majority of ferns open upward & outward; they never "dangle" as does the tassel fern. It, too, begins in the normal manner with fat golden-hued unfurling crosiers. But then each young frond's tip inexplicably turns downward, like pendant flags. This pose lasts several days until the frond is fully opened & mature.
Evergreen, grows to 30cm high
