âCristatumâ crested lady fern (Athyrium filix femina âCristatumâ) is an evergreen fern that is easy to grow in USDA zones 4 through 9. This 1- to 3-foot-tall plant thrives in full or partial shade and produces ruffled fronds that fall slightly in an arching manner.
Some evergreens have needle-like foliage covering their branches. Evergreen shrubs can be focal points in a home garden, bringing green accents to the landscape year-round and providing cover for birds and wildlife during the colder months.Sometimes evergreen foliage and branches might turn brown, an unattractive change that can signal an environmental or cultural problem.Identifying the cause and deciding on the best course of action can help the plant survive and recover.ometimes an evergreen may come through winter undamaged, but new growth that appears in spring could gradually turn brown.
