The evergreen Maidenhair Spleenwort is a low growing fern, which has distinctive light green fronds and can be used very effectively to cover rocks, branches, and logs in the fernery border. We use these ferns at Silk Tree Nurseries to 'seed' our stumpery roots where they overhang and require little or no maintenance. This is an evergreen fern, but fronds will slowly degrade over winter as the new fronds start to immerge.

The Japanese Painted Fern  is simply one of the most desirable of all fern species and is a fern that I have had in my own fernery for many years. This fern is unlike any other , with incredibly delicate fronds of silver, blue, white, and red. They are deciduous ferns, losing their fronds in late autumn, but in the Spring, will emerge again twisting out extraordinary fronds of deep red, which then unfurl to silver and grey. I can never stop taking photos of this fern, because each year the fronds are slightly different, slightly more blue, more red, or more silver - and the colours seem to be determined by position, and soil content . This is a smaller fern, growing usually only to 1ft-2ft and they make ideal front fernery specimens, along with Athyrium 'Okanaum'  below.

The very rarely available Japanese Eared Fern is one of the most desirable of the Athryium species of ferns, which include the Japanese Painted Ferns as their cousins. This fern has delicate, light green fronds with red stems and midribs and makes a beautiful contrast to the dark greens of Polystichum's and Dryopteris in a fernery.

The elegant and stately Ostrich or Shuttlecock fern is one of our  favourite ferns, and makes an ideal fern for mid-border or back border of a shaded moist bed or fernery. This fern makes a unique 'shuttlecock' shape of fronds, the fronds standing very much more upright than other fern species. The Ostrich fern spreads by underground rhizomes, so you will have these very architectural ferns coming up with 1 or 2ft between each as they slowly spread. These ferns can grow up to 3ft high with 4ft long fronds when established.

Osmunda regalis is a very unique and extraordinary fern, and has come to be known as the 'Flowering Fern' due to the way it spores; great clusters of spore form on the frond tips and resemble unusual hazelnut brown flower stems. This is a large growing fern after some years, achieving up to 6ft fronds in a good position, and this ground will fern will also form a dense trunk after only a short time period. Royal ferns can cope with a full sun position if on moist ground (or watered regularly).
