How to Use Japanese Beech Fern In The Landscape
Ferns always bring a calming element to any garden space. Dappled shade gardens become magical wonderlands with a carpet of cooling greenery. Mix among other shade-loving perennials for a shady mixed border.
Great for underplanting for trees and shrubs for a woodland feel, these naturalize readily, yet politely to fill large spaces. Allow to ramble around a shaded Rock garden or fill in borders along paths and line a shaded drive in greenery.
Tolerant of coastal conditions and moist soil, plant these around water features, brooks and ponds. Lovely as skirting around garden structures and gazebos, porches and arbors, providing that finishing touch.
#ProPlantTips For Care
Ferns prefer part to full shade, favoring morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in the warmer growing zones of 4 through 9. Tolerant of both heat and cold, in areas with warm summers, you’ll enjoy seeing your Fern remain semi-evergreen through mild winters.
Plant in well-drained rich medium in highly organic soil on the acidic side. Preferring moist soil, these Fern can tolerate dry shade once established. However, for the healthiest looking plants and to protect your investment, provide supplemental watering in times of heat and drought.
Provide a location with good air circulation and always clean dead fronds once died back for the winter. These easy deciduous ground cover beauties add luxurious greenery to any shaded landscape!
