Ferns are not used in the landscape for bloom color but for their foliage. Deciduous or evergreen , ferns are admired for their many textural contrasts, sizes, colors, and their ability to endure many environmental conditions. If you plant ferns in a shady area remember to add rocks , wood pieces or logs, and annuals or perennial with different bloom colors. This will give your area a more natural wooded look to show off your ferns. Mulch the area to help retain moisture and add that look of a forest floor.
Ferns are a step below seed- producing plants because they have no true flower or fruit.
The spores are found in clusters on the backside of their leaf form, called fronds. Ferns can be multiplied also by means of division of older plants and tissue culture. Ferns with below-ground, creeping rhizomes can form large masses as they become established since new growth is constantly developed during the growing season. Any of these can become invasive. Ferns with a crown or clump of clustered stems produce only new growth from this main area so they are more restrained from expanding.
