Big Leaf Holly Fern (Cyrtomium macrophyllum)
Big Leaf Holly Fern (Cyrtomium macrophyllum)
Dark brown stipes support ample oblong-ovate lustrous pinnae which billow out in graceful horizontal arcs. The 2 to 8 pairs of bamboo-green smooth-edged pinnae are capped by an undivided to three-cleft terminal. This is probably one of the most striking species of Cyrtomium in cultivation and is a perfect foil to hide the downed winter foliage of hybrid hellebores.
