Cyrtomium macrophyllum - Large Leaf Japanese Holly fern plug plant

Cyrtomium macrophyllum (Large-Leaf Holly Fern)

Bold and dramatic, Cyrtomium macrophyllum brings serious style to the shade with its broad, glossy fronds that look like polished green leather—if James Bond were a fern, this might be it.

Growing 60–90cm tall and wide, it forms a striking clump that adds evergreen elegance to woodland gardens, shady borders, or stylish containers. Thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it’s tough, tidy, and always impeccably dressed. Shade gardening just got a lot cooler.
