Shade Loving Ferns

Easily grown in average, slightly acidic, medium to wet soils in part shade to full shade. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. Site in locations sheltered from strong winds to protect the fronds.

Tassels disappear as fronds flatten with maturity. Details: Excellent selection for shaded areas in the landscape, including borders, woodland gardens, shade gardens, wild gardens and foundations.

The fronds unfurl into a beautiful vase shape that really does look like an ostrich's tail feathers. It handles more sun the closer it is to a stream, pond or bog and handles wet feet like a duck.
