Gardeners’ Forum: “Ferns for full sun in summer”

• Ferns for full sun in summer

  Posted by Diane on Thursday, April 26, 2007 5:35 am ADT

  I am starting a new bed around my deck which is facing south east. As the house is newly built I am not certain exactly when the shade will be coming over in mid summer - I suspect only about 4 pm or even later. I would like to use ferns as my filler plants. Any recommendations as to which ferns to use?

    All ferns prefer and do best in shady conditions with moist soil however the ostrich fern is probably one of the only ferns that will do fine in full sun.
