Native ferns can be a great addition to landscaping for several reasons
They are often hardy, low maintenance, and can provide a natural and organic look to your garden or yard. Here are some common uses for native ferns in landscaping:
Ground covers: Many native ferns, such as the Lady Fern or the Cinnamon Fern, spread quickly and make excellent border plants. They can add texture and interest to areas of your garden that may be difficult to grow other plants.
Borders: Ferns can also create natural-looking borders along paths or garden beds
Fern's feathery foliage can soften the edges of a border and create a more natural look.
Shade gardens: Native ferns are well adapted to growing in shaded areas, making them an excellent choice for shade gardens. They can add interest and texture to areas of your garden that may be lacking in sunlight.
Water features: Ferns thrive in moist environments, making them a great addition to water features such as ponds or streams. They can be planted along the banks of a water feature or in boggy areas around the edge.
Container gardens: Some native ferns, such as the Christmas Fern, can be grown in containers and make an excellent addition to patios or other outdoor living spaces.
When using native ferns in landscaping, choosing species appropriate for your climate and soil conditions is essential. Consulting with a local gardening expert or landscaper can help you select the best native ferns.
