Ferns
For now we have a single general file dealing with growing hardy ferns in the home landscape. Within this next year, we will develop files for the 10 or 12 most popular fern species.

Hardy Ferns
While there are many, many kinds of ferns with varying cultural requirements, they are usually categorized as tender or tropical ferns as opposed to hardy or native ferns. They range from 3 or 4 inch tall groundcovers such as Rusty Woodsia and Walking fern to 4 to 6 feet tall such as Cinnamon fern or Ostrich fern.

Planting and Propagating Hardy Ferns
Place large ferns, like the ostrich fern, 3 feet apart, but most can be spaced at 12 to 18 inch intervals. The easiest way to grow more fern plants is to divide existing clumps after 3 or 4 years when they become large.

Solving Problems Of Hardy Ferns
If they are in soil that is moderately fertile with lots of moisture and nutritious humus, ferns do not require a lot of fertilizer. Certain fronds on a fern plant will develop regular rows of black dots on the undersides of their leaves.

Using Ferns In The Landscape
Plant them with bulbs and they'll mask the dying bulb foliage in late spring. Set it on rather than under the soil, with the growing tip or crown above the soil line. Never fertilize a fern when it is dormant.
