Maidenhair Fern, or five-fingered fern, is a North American native perennial that makes a graceful addition to any shaded garden or landscape. This fern has gray-green, feathery foliage that adds texture and charm to any garden, especially moist, wooded areas. Try growing your perennial as a specimen plant on its own or in a group. You can also plant it as a ground cover as long as the soil conditions are habitable. Maidenhair Ferns can also be container plants and even houseplants. If your fern is in a container and you want to bring it indoors, be sure to place it in an area of your home that receives bright, indirect sunlight. It is important to know that these ferns do not like dry soil conditions; you must always keep this plant’s soil moist and slightly acidic.
