Ferns in the garden
Ferns in the garden create a soft, natural look and are perfect in shady beds, by ponds or as ground cover under larger plants and trees. They come in many sizes and shapes, making it possible to combine different fern species for a varied and vibrant look.
In addition to their decorative value, ferns contribute to biodiversity by creating shelter and microclimates for small animals and insects. Many ferns are also evergreen, adding green life to the garden even in the winter months.
How to care for ferns
For ferns to thrive best, they should be planted in partial shade or shade. They prefer constant moisture, but cannot tolerate standing water. Some ferns can also thrive better outdoors in a sunnier location.
Remove old or wilted leaves as needed to keep the plant healthy and make room for new growth. With proper care, ferns can grow large and beautiful and become a long-lasting feature in the garden.
