Choice Hardy Ferns 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost 

 every garden. With few exceptions they do best in a shady or 

 semi-shady position in rich well-drained soil where they can be 

 liberally supplied with water during dry weather. Where the 

 soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate a liberal quantity of leaf-mould, 

 peat or other loose material to make it friable.
