Plant of the month

Each month I choose one of my favourite plants relevant for the season. So many to choose from, so little time...

Polystichum munitum – Christmas Fern 

Polystichum Munitums deep green fronds spray out from the centyere of the plant in this border..

This evergreen fern’s long sword-like fronds make a lovely shape as they curve gracefully outwards from the central crown.
