Maidenhair Fern
From LoveToKnow Garden
Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum) - Elegant ferns, few hardy, growing best in a rough fibry peat, mixed with sand and lumps of broken stone or brick. A. pedatum, the N. American kind, is charming among shade-loving plants in the wild garden with the more beautiful wood-flowers, such as Trillium, Hepatica, and blue Anemone, in moist soil. A. Capillus veneris, the British Maidenhair Fern, is best in a sheltered nook at the foot of a shady wall, and in the southern warmer countries might be found near fountain basins and moist corners of the rock garden and hardy fernery, though our climate is not warm enough for its full growth.
