Tassle Fern (Polystichum polyblepharum)

Is this gorgeous fern really evergreen, or is it too good to be true? It looks like a tropical tree fern so even if it was dedicous, its an amazing addition to a tropical yard in a temperate climate. BUT the good news is that it is actually evergreen... at least a little.
