Ferns are one of the most beautiful plants for the woodland Garden. There are many different kinds of Ferns, each with its own pattern in leaves and delicate sway in the wind. Ferns are a fantastic addition to your shady garden area and some do well in partial sun. Evergreen color in the garden can be an easy choice to make when it comes to ferns. Some ferns die back in winter but others stay green all year long depending on climate.
