Shade Fern Plants - 10 Plants Enjoy Colorful Fonds
They lack seeds and flowers but make up for them with their stems, leaves, and roots. They proliferate either vegetatively or through the release of spores. When the earth is warm enough, they often start sprouting new fronds early to mid-spring. Their springtime sprouting time varies depending on whether they're in a cooler or warmer climate. New fronds unfurl as they grow; they are known as fiddleheads.
Their three-to-four-foot-tall, medium-green, vase-shaped fronds eventually cover vast areas, creating an eye-catching, verdant groundcover, especially when planting ten or more. They are available in a rainbow of hues, from copper and silver to gold, green, and even purple.

How To Grow
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.
