Japanese Holly Fern 'Rochfordianum'

Add bold, year-round texture to shaded spaces with Japanese Holly Fern ‘Rochfordianum’ (Cyrtomium falcatum ‘Rochfordianum’) — one of the most distinctive and durable ferns you can grow. Unlike typical ferns, its large, glossy, holly-like leaflets give it a bold, leathery appearance that stands out in the shade garden.
