Evergreen Ferns

Example of approximately what these plants look like when shipped. See the eighth photograph of any plant to see a photo of what it looks like when shipped.
Evergreen ferns add year-round dramatic, sweeping textures and contrasting colors to your landscape. They are effective in mass plantings, as borders, and as accent plants. Our ferns thrive in partialn and full shade.

Southern Shield Fern even tolerates full sun throughout the range of U.S. zones (check each plant's Description tab for details). All of our evergreen ferns are tolerant of drought, native to the United States, excellent for erosion control, and most are rarely eaten by deer.

How to choose? Well, after more than 40 years of experimenting with various ferns, we have compiled a selection of the easiest to grow and hardiest evergreen options.
