Evergreen fern that performs exceptionally well in acidic soils with good drainage and regular fertilization. Forms a rounded mound of glossy dark green leaves that unfurl and lay down slightly. The name comes from the holy-like leaves on the fronds. It tolerates sun better than other ferns, however the strong Texas heat combined with the sunlight will burn the foliage.
Grows back easily after a heavy trimming when the foliage becomes sunburned or frayed - use caution not to cut into the crown.
