Polystichum rigens is an attractive fern known for its soft, green fronds that initially rise upright before unfurling beautifully, making it an excellent choice for adding texture to shady borders or areas beneath deciduous trees. To achieve optimal growth, it thrives in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil or peat-free compost, and it pairs well with a variety of other foliage plants, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your garden.
