Holly Fern ‘Fortune’s Cold-Hardy’

Cyrtomium fortunei

I may upgrade my commentary in a couple years, I have a feeling this fern will come into its own in after some time. According to the nursery tag, I might need to sweeten the soil for better performance.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
