In line with its name, Polystichum tsus-simense 'Korean Rock Fern' is a captivating houseplant native to Korea. Its leaves display shades of lush, deep green, further highlighted by the delicate texture and intricate pattern that is characteristic of ferns. The fronds unfurl from the center of the plant, creating a beautiful rosette effect that can reach about 12 inches in height and width.

When planted in a pot, the fronds cascade over the edges, creating an enchanting "waterfall" effect. Though it may grow slowly, the Korean Rock Fern's growth is a delight to witness. Over time, the plant may develop a rhizome, a horizontal stem that often grows underground, sprouting roots and shoots to expand the plant. Adding to the charm of this fern is its hardiness. It's an evergreen variety, maintaining its vibrant color throughout the year, even in cooler climates. This makes it a great choice for those looking to add a touch of green to their indoor or outdoor spaces, regardless of the season. In addition to its striking foliage, the Korean Rock Fern also boasts tiny, inconspicuous spore cases on the undersides of its fronds. These spore cases, or sori, are a unique feature of ferns, adding another layer of intrigue to this already captivating plant. In terms of care, this plant is fairly low maintenance, preferring shady locations and well-drained soil. It's resistant to pests and diseases, making it a perfect choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts. Experience the enchantment of the Polystichum tsus-simense 'Korean Rock Fern' in your home or garden. Its elegant fronds, hardy nature, and intricate growth patterns are sure to captivate your senses and enhance your green spaces.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
