Ferns make good, low maintenance garden plants that have surprisingly few pests and diseases. I enjoy ferns as they fit very well around my pond, but can be placed in other areas as well, and are pretty easy to maintain.
Many ferns prefer light to moderate shade, somewhat moist conditions and soil rich in organic matter. Ferns are adapted to a wide variety of conditions–some ferns prefer dry rocky sites or wet marshy conditions while others thrive in limestone-rich soils. There are garden ferns for just about every condition you encounter in a garden.
Acutally, there are over 500 kinds of hardy ferns that can be grown in American gardens.
