Ferns
Ferns are a must for shady and
woodland gardens. They grow naturally in the woods, and they require consistent soil
moisture. They are worth the irrigation effort, as the effect a stand of ferns has
is outstanding. Their graceful movement, forms, and textures make lush contrasting
backdrops for the broad leaves of hostas. They make a great ground cover,
naturalizing easily in rich humusy, shady spaces.
We grow lots of ferns, look for new
types and old favorites in the shady section our nursery. The following is a list of
some of the ferns we have grown or are growing currently, please call for availability by
