Ferns (SF)
Hardy in Zones 3-7 or Zone 2 with protection.
Ferns add grace to informal plantings and can be used in woodlands, among shrubs, as a shade-loving ground cover, or in the shady border. They must have moist, rich, loamy soil and full or part shade. Prepare the soil before planting by adding peat or compost. Space 12"-24" apart, depending on the mature size of the variety. Cover the roots with at least 2" of soil. Water well during dry spells and mulch lightly over winter.
