Through Our Landscape USA Affiliate Ferns can be a great option even for would-be gardeners who haven't felt they have a green thumb. They're comparatively easier to raise and thrive in general compared to other types of plants, and they fit in well with yard schemes that might include patios, fencing, trees that need base area plantings, and of course patios and the ever-popular American barbecure grill space for family and friends to enjoy open space. Easy to grow almost anyplace. Thrive even when other plants fail.
Leaflets are lance-shaped in dense clusters.
Thrives either in wet swampy or dry shady spots. Smells like fresh hay when the bright green fronds are crushed or broken, making it an ideal fern for pathways. Thrives in moist, slightly acid soil. Partial shade and moist soil. A real favorite.
