Well, Bobbi, I have yet to meet a fern I didn't like, including the
rampant hay-scented fern, which makes a great groundcover in woodland
conditions; would NOT put it into a garden bed or border!
If you can remember to email me in early spring, I can send you a
clump of Christmas fern...I would need to send it before it started
growth my end, which might be early for you...email me privately on
this one.
