If the exotic look of the foliage is what you are after, you can have it even in temperate zones with the amazing hart’s tongue fern varity.
The leaves, in fact, are bright, light green, very glossy and exotic looking. They form a beautiful rosette with their arching leaves, which are not divided or frilled, but look like little snaps or tongues.
When the spores form, the underside of this fern’s leaves becomes brownish, which actually adds to its decorative value.
It will bring a tropical mood to any terrace or patio, where you can easily grow it in containers, but also in beds and borders and, if you fancy a large and lush “Paleolithic meadow”, this outdoor fern can also be used as ground cover.
Despite its exotic appearance is is cold hardy, and this variety too won the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Exposure: partial shade or full shade.
Height: 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm).
Hardiness: it is hardy to USDA zones 5 to 9.
Soil needs: it adapts to most types of soil, as long as you keep it moist and it is well drained. In fact, it grows in alkaline or neutral soil (not acidic), be it loam, clay, chalk or sandy soil.
