Ferns are classic shade plants. Every shade garden should have ferns. There are so many kinds of ferns, I have 3 varieties growing in my shade garden. Below is Southern Wood Fern. This fern is pretty common, I bought this at WalMart, and it's pretty inexpensive. It spreads quickly. This fern will die back in the winter and pop up in early spring.
The fern in the two pictures below is called Lace Fern. It doesn't spread as quickly as Southern Wood Fern. It's really pretty and delicate looking. Lace Fern also dies back in the winter.
The fern in the two pictures below is called Holly Fern. Holly Fern is evergreen. During the winter, Holly Fern is about the only green thing growing in my Shade Garden. It is a deep green color, the other two ferns are more of a spring green color. Holly Fern leaves are thick and leathery.
