Ferns for shady gardens thrive with careful soil and moisture
Henry Pree notes the shady garden spots resist blooming but ferns like Osmunda claytoniana Asplenium filix foemina Struthiopteris germanica Athyrium acrontichoides adapt well. They need porous moist soil, light shade, protection from harsh winds, and can spread from spores or roots. Ferns prefer acidic woods soil rich in leaf mold and must not be lime rich.
