One of our favorite of the US native (Central Texas) desert ferns is Pellaea ovata. Here is our clump in the crevice garden looking quite nice this week. This is scheduled to return to the Plant Delights catalog in January. Hardiness should be at least Zone 7b and south.
Is there a specie of fern that fits this:
Thrives in full shade in zone 7b
Green year around
Height of 12”
I want to line both sides of a wooded pathway.
Hard to beat Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides)
A fern for South Florida 10b, East exposure, mostly shade, tall?
This needs at least a few hours of sun or very open shade. Should be fine in Zone 10b. It’s more of an arching fern, so topping out at 15-18″ tall
