Hardy ferns are very popular ground cover with their delicate, feathery leaves. The easy-care plants also feel comfortable in shady locations.
The primeval-looking, often wintergreen and robust native species are also an eye-catcher in the garden. They are easy to care for and cope well with shady locations or light shade, as well as with moist air such as in the jungle. They don't particularly like blazing sun and drought - the hardy plants cope much better with frosty temperatures.
