Moisture-loving plants, hardy ferns are excellent for growing in boggy areas, especially near streams or ponds. And since most ferns spread and colonize over time, they make great ground cover. But they're also great container plants, for indoor or outdoor growing. Hardy ferns are virtually maintenance free and, perhaps best of all, deer proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"polystichum-plumosomultilobum-27300","title":"Polystichum 'Plumosomultilobum'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fern will instantly become the queen of your woodland garden.

Talk about adding visual movement to the garden, this fern has you covered. It grows best in rich, moist, well drained soil but will tolerate sand or clay. It thrives in light or dark shade but too much sun will cause it to yellow. Though it is evergreen the fronds should be cut down in late February or March, before the new fronds emerge.
