*Adiantum pedatum Maiden Hair Fern

*Adiantum pedatum Maiden Hair Fern

One of the most delicate and graceful ferns they increase slowly and seldom need restraint, indeed I can't imagine having too many of them. The fronds magically unfurl atop their shiny black stems to reveal a swirl of unmatched loveliness. A must for every garden, it prefers a little lime but will tolerate a wide range of soils.

*Athyrium filix-femina Lady Fern

*Athyrium filix-femina Lady Fern

This popular fern is among the loveliest medium tall species. It advances rather rapidly showing off its extremely attractive new growth often with striking red stems. It prefers rather moist shade.

*Dryopteris carthusiana (spinulosa) Toothed Wood

*Dryopteris carthusiana (spinulosa) Toothed Wood

Similar to Leather Wood but with more finely toothed and dissected leaves. I prefer it to Leather Wood but both make fine, carefree garden plants, and are great for general landscape use.

*Dryopteris filix mas Male Fern

*Dryopteris filix mas Male Fern

Got Lady Ferns? Perhaps they're lonely? I bet they would like a few Male Ferns to show off for. This widespread and variable fern is a classic and is circumpolar in distribution, and almost too well known to need description. Plants grow 2-3 feet tall, and are almost evergreen and provide striking accent when placed near a fallen log or stump.

*Dryopteris marginalis Leather Wood Fern

*Dryopteris marginalis Leather Wood Fern

The most evergreen of our native Dryopteris, easily identified by the sori that sit on the pinnule margins, with handsome leathery glaucous green fronds, it prefers deep rocky pockets of leaf mould, but it will endure some dryness. A good choice for cut fronds it is the epitome of what most people want in a fern. I love the crowns in early spring before the crosiers start to unfurl, sitting there in an inward pointing ring of teeth, surrounded by the outward pointing spokes of last years stems (sensors to warn of approaching prey), the creature at the bottom of Jabba’s sand pit comes to mind.

Stately 3' - 5’ plants, it likes moist shady places and even waterlogged sites but dislikes alkaline soils, fertile fronds are cinnamon brown hence the name, stunning en-masse.

*Osmunda regalis Royal Fern

*Osmunda regalis Royal Fern

A large species that prefers to dangle its toes in the water, growing to over 6' tall and occasionally as much as 10’; mass plantings have an almost prehistoric nature, just the thing for landscaping Komodo dragon pens.

Add:

*Polypody virginianum

*Polypody virginianum

At its best growing on rotting moss covered logs, or rocks, we have them in a woodland trough with trilliums, Shortia, and Cypripedium, and they are outstanding.

Add:

*Polystichum acrostichoides Christmas Fern

*Polystichum acrostichoides Christmas Fern

Perhaps the best fern for growing amongst flowers, the leathery brilliant evergreen fronds and neat upright rosettes, 12" tall are a favorite of mine. Sturdy but non-invasive it prefers alkaline soil but does well on rock and sand.

Betty Blake distributed this years ago, it is from a Michigan collection and hardy in zone 5, most forms of southern maidenhair are not, it does not appear to be a hybrid, and is absolutely lovely.
