General information about Ferns: When gardeners and landscape designers are looking for a dramatic, vibrant spray of color and foliage, they will often consider ferns for their project. In addition to sweeping texture and lush greenery, ferns work wonderfully as independent or companion perennials. Perfect in mass plantings where they create the feeling of a field of grass swaying gently in soft breezes, ferns are also delightful as borders where they stand like shapely chartreuse soldiers at the edges of garden beds. Then again, when used as accents, in single plantings, or clusters amidst a rock garden, you have a moving work of willowy art. But what to choose? You’ll be pleased to know that after more than 40 years of experimenting with various ferns, we have compiled a selection of the easiest to grow and hardiest ferns.Essentially, we’ve narrowed the list down for you, so you can select from our varieties with confidence. A bonus with our ferns is that all, except Japanese Painted Fern and Japanese Shield Fern are native to the United States. Our ferns generally thrive in part shade and full shade. Have a full sun location? Southern Shield Fern even tolerates full sun! You will love the hardiness of our ferns as all of them are tolerant of drought and most are rarely eaten by deer. Selections like Christmas Fern are wonderful erosion control options. With some ferns being evergreen and some semi-evergreen, you are sure to find the option that works wonderfully for your garden. Be sure to check each plant's Description tab for details. Special note when planting bare root ferns in hot weather: If you plant bare root ferns during hot weather it is common for the foliage to die off. Do not fret, as long as you keep them moist they will grow back foliage. Depending on the severity of the heat it might not be until after summer ends. See all ferns |
Christmas ferns 10/07/2021 By Delce Dyer (NC) Product reviewed: Christmas Fern {Bare Root Plants, min 25} They arrived in great condition. I have turned all of them up right pending planting but the generous root balls should keep them in good condition. |

Not satisfactory 08/12/2020 By James Hood (SC) Product reviewed: Christmas Fern {Bare Root Plants, min 25} I have purchased Christmas Ferns when I lived in CT and now in SC and both times I have been very disappointed with the results. They just don't seem to grow well despite good locations. ============= 08/12/2020 Classy Groundcovers comment: I see no record... Read full review > |
Arrived in perfect conditions |
I purchased these ferns for a dry slope that runs down to a wet weather creek. The soil is rocky and not terribly fertile, but there are native ferns that grow in the area and I am hoping for a good showing. I will order more if these 25 plants do well... Read full review > |
