Hardy ferns are a hidden gem of the gardening world, and should be grown much more widely. They suffer from perceptions they either take over like Bracken, or need wet spots to grow in - some do, but most don't.

They will reward you with year-round foliage interest, and are perfect together as a small fernery in the border or in a large pot, or in mixed planters, or cool, deep, moist soils. This collection includes one each of 3 named ferns (varieties may vary depending on seasonal availability).
