HARDY FERNS

Several hardy ferns have recently been added to our Landscape for Wet Sites.  You might think of ferns as fussy plants, but there are some that do well year-round and even stay green over the winter.   Once established they require minimum care.   Most ferns prefer filtered sunlight and moist, humus soil.  You can find a diverse selection of frond shapes, colors, and heights.  Pictured is our current selection and plans are underway to add more natives.  You can read about individual ferns at this site:  FERNS
