Perfect for any shade planting, these ferns are easy to grow and many will cope with dry shade once established. An excellent foil to other plants, they have a quiet charm all of their own when the fronds unfurl in spring to reveal the fresh, divided foliage. These ferns like moist soil in shade and appreciate yearly applications of garden compost or other organic material the first few years after planting. Once established, some can tolerate drier soil.
