Lush and exceptional companion plants for shady perennials
Why Plant Ferns?
Ferns provide excellent texture in the shade garden, and can be planted as companions to bright blooms, or as stand-alones that deserve undivided attention for their beautiful arching fronds. From deeply-cut to delicate and lacey, you'll have your choice of ornamental patterns and colors - ferns can be light, dark and bluish-green. And if you want to "break the rules" and plant one in the sun, just remember to keep the soil consistently moist.
