If texture turns you on, ferns belong in your shade garden. From the delicate leaves of the maidenhair fern to the bold shape of the holly fern, there is a fern for you.
These non-flowering plants secretly reproduce using spores, often producing colonies hidden in the woods. In the landscape, these leafy textures combine well and compliment their fellow shade lovers: hostas, heucheras, plumbago and shade dwelling groundcovers.
