Hardy Fern CollectionThey're comparatively easier to raise and thrive in general compared to other types of plants, and they fit in well with yard schemes that might include patios, fencing, trees that need base area plantings, and of course patios and the ever-popular American barbecure grill space for family and friends to enjoy open space. LandscapeUSA Quoting from their site: "Whether used in borders or as a background, ferns enhance any garden with their gracefulness and their beautiful varying shades of green. Easy to grow almost anyplace. Thrive even when other plants fail.
