Ferns

When customers tell me they are looking for something for shade, that’s deer resistant and looks good all season my mind instantly thinks, FERNS! If you have a particularly wet or boggy area try some of the larger specimens like Ostrich, Cinnamon, or Royal. Dry shade? No problem try Painted ferns or Autumn fern. Need a delicate texture for containers or rock gardens? Think Maidenhair. There’s a fern for everyone!
