Why Choose the New York Fern

If you're looking for a versatile and hardy plant, the New York Fern is a great option. This plant can be enjoyed all year round, and it does well in most climates.

Where do New York Ferns grow best?

A: New York Ferns thrive in shady, moist environments such as woodlands, meadows, and along stream banks. They prefer partial to full shade and do well in humus-rich soil with moisture. Gardeners often use them in shaded beds or naturalized landscapes, where they adapt quickly and provide lush, green groundcover.

How tall do New York Ferns get?

A: Mature New York Ferns typically grow between one and four feet tall, depending on the growing conditions. Their fronds are long and slender, giving them a delicate, airy look that softens shaded areas. Planting in groups can form colonies that create a complete, carpet-like effect in the landscape.

Care

New York Fern thrives in well-drained, moist soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. To prevent mold, keep the soil consistently moist and provide good air circulation. Mulching assists in retaining soil moisture and suppressing weeds. Regularly trim dead fronds to maintain health and appearance.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Fern Rhizomes

Bare root fern rhizomes are easy to plant and bring lush, woodland beauty to shaded or partially shaded areas. To begin, soak the rhizomes in water for 1–2 hours before planting to help rehydrate them. Choose a planting site with rich, well-draining soil high in organic matter. Ferns thrive in moisture-retentive soil, so amending with compost or leaf mold is ideal.

Dig a shallow hole wide enough to spread the rhizome out horizontally, and place it just below the soil surface with the growing tips (or “eyes”) facing upward. Cover lightly with soil, press gently, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil evenly moist—never dry or soggy—while the fern establishes.

Mulch with leaf litter or pine needles to conserve moisture and mimic the fern’s natural habitat. Avoid direct sunlight, as most native ferns prefer cool, shaded conditions. With patience and proper care, the rhizomes will send up new fronds and form a graceful, low-maintenance colony that returns year after year.
