Osmunda Fern

Osmundaceae. Genus about 12 species of deciduous, terrestrial ferns found in damp places and watersides in all continents except Australasia. Broadly lance-shaped fronds arise from rhizomes turning yellow gold in autumn. Most require shade and wet conditions. Remove fading fronds regularly. Hardy. Keep crowns out of water. Good for woodland or as marginals. Will grow in full sun if moist. Prefer acid soils

Polypodium Fern

(Polypodiaceae). Polypody. Genus of about 75 species of mostly evergreen ferns mainly from tropical regions of the USA, Central America and South America but also from temperate and other tropical regions. Found growing on trees, rocks, walls or well drained banks and sand dunes. They are cultivated for their sculptural fronds which are usually lance-shaped, simple to pinnatifid or pinnate. Young herringbone like fronds develop early summer. The creeping rhizomes are covered with copper coloured scales.

They will put up with drier conditions than most ferns such as dry shade. Evergreen, easy and tough - looking best in winter. Excellent groundcover. Some will grown on rock gardens others in mixed borders or banks. You will see it growing out of the trunks of old trees in a wood.

Polystichum Fern

(Dryopteridaceae). Holly Fern, Shield Fern. Genus of nearly 200 species of usually evergreen, rhizomatous terrestrial ferns found in a range of habitats from alpine cliffs to tropical forests worldwide. Like damp, humus rich soil but lime tolerant and will take some sun or dry shade. Architectural specimens with 'shuttlecock' crowns. Setiferum refers to the seta or bristle, which every pinnule ends in. Pinnae (leaves) have characteristic 'mitten' shape and are holly-like. Remove faded fronds regularly. Good on raised beds on a corner or rockeries.
Prefer alkaline (lime) soils in full or semi shade best.
