Description:
Ferns are an absolute joy in any shady garden. Ferns bring a frothy, soft quality to any garden and mix well with a range of shade tolerate plants. Ferns work well on slopes, in rocky areas and around woodlands.
Care:
Ferns don’t enjoy direct sun and will respond badly to long dry spells. Chop off dishevelled fronds and new ones will come!
