all shapes and sizes
Ferns come in an amazing range of textures, colours, sizes and shapes, so do take the trouble to get to know them in all their splendid glory by visiting a specialist grower during summer months.
As well as British native ferns that are ideal for planting in drifts in shady corners, tall tree ferns are good to dot around to create an exotic mood in a sheltered spot. these will thrive in dappled shade if you keep them well away from the edge of a lawn so that the grass won’t starve them of food and moisture.
