What is a garden fern
The fern belongs to the Osmund family and is unpretentious perennial... This plant is represented by many varieties, including Indian, Thai, forest and garden and others, which differ in growth characteristics in different conditions... Fern was originally grown in eastern countries, today this plant has adapted to our climate.
Since this plant has a long history, dating back to ancient times, it is not surprising that there are some signs and superstitions about the fern. For example, one of the legends says that on the holiday of Ivan Kupala (late June-early July) it begins to bloom. Since this only happens once a year, those who see fire flower fern, receive unusual powers, up to understanding the language of plants and animals and the ability to see what is underground.
According to another legend, the fern appeared at the place where the hair of the goddess Venus fell, and another belief connects the origin of the fern with the place where a beautiful girl fell, on which a beautiful flower grew.
There are many more legends about this plant. So, there are a number of signs whether it is possible to plant a fern in the country. According to some, he brings misfortune. But, for example, astrological forecasts say that for some signs of the zodiac, this plant will become a source of balance and harmony.
In any case, it is up to you to decide where to plant the fern and whether it is worth doing it at all. We can tell you how to grow a fern in the country, and explain some of the features of caring for this plant.
If you look at the photo of a fern in the garden, you can see that this shrub has lush leaf plates (or fronds), somewhat reminiscent of the wings of birds. Depending on the variety, the size of this plant can be either tiny or quite large. At correct fit and caring for a fern in the country, you can not only enjoy the beauty of this shrub, but also use it for cooking or for treating some ailments.
Growing a fern in your garden will not be difficult as it loves shady areas and is not picky about watering, pruning or other maintenance methods.
Choosing a variety
To figure out how to grow a fern in the garden, you need to decide on the variety. About 150 species of fern are adapted to tropical climates and are not suitable for a garden, but for home cultivation... But the rest (and in total there are more than two hundred species and ten thousand varieties) can be planted in the garden zone, since they are favorable to the temperate climate.
For example, you can choose to plant the following varieties of ferns in your country house:
- maidenhair (foot or venus hair);
- leaflet (centipede or Japanese);
- fern mnogoryadnik;
- kochedzhnik (female, "Burgundy Lace" or Nippon);
- male shieldworm;
- common ostrich;
- common bracken.
Let's find out how to plant ferns from the forest of the listed species in the country.
The maidenhair fern is a small shrub about half a meter in height with openwork leaves of a greenish-yellow hue. Fronts of this variety are placed horizontally and look like several tiers. You can choose such a fern if you expect that the vegetation of your garden will withstand severe frosts. But the fern maidenhair venus hair, unlike the previous one, does not withstand well low temperatures therefore undesirable for cold areas.
The Japanese leaf fern is easy to distinguish from others. The fronds of this plant grow in different directions, so the fern itself takes on a non-standard shape.
The maximum height of such a fern can be about forty centimeters. This type is suitable for decorating rock gardens, rockeries and decorative water bodies on your site.
Scolopendra leaflet grows in mountain forest areas. It consists of dark sheet plates of great length, without cuts. But some varieties of the centipede leaf have an openwork appearance. Such a plant can be planted both in the shade and in the sun, but in the second case, it will develop much more slowly and acquire a yellow tint. But this type of fern tolerates frost well.
The multiforme fern consists of a horizontal rhizome with poor branching. With the onset of cold weather, it does not lose its bright green hue. This type of fern has openwork fronds that curl up in the spring season.
You can also buy kochedzhnik fern for your garden. For example, the female kochedyzhnik variety, which grows to a height of 70 centimeters. It has dissected leaf plates collected in lush bunches. And the look of a kochedyzhnik called "Burgundy Lace" has a pleasant wine shade, so it will be a worthy decoration for any garden area at your dacha.
One more suitable option- Nippon kochedyzhnik. It has silvery-red leaf blades and grows in shaded areas.
Many grow in the garden a forest fern of the male dwarf species. This plant can grow in size up to one and a half meters, has feathery leaf plates connected to a funnel-shaped rosette.
Attention! Unlike many other cultivars, the leaf plates of the male thyroid grow very slowly and fully develop only two years after planting.
The ostrich is one of the most versatile fern species as it grows in different areas and can even grow along the coastline. This perennial can have two types of foliage: sterile, forming a rosette up to one and a half meters, and spore-bearing, having the appearance of ostrich feathers.
Keep in mind that this fern will start growing rapidly after planting, so you will have to thin out the plant constantly.
The maximum height of the common bracken can be about seventy centimeters. This plant is popular in medicine and is also edible, which is why it can often be found in our gardens. Such a fern has large leaf plates that look like wings. The plant can be recognized by its specific aroma.
Remember! Common bracken is poisonous to pets.
If you wish, you can choose for your site several types of ferns, adapted to the existing climate. They can be used both as the main accent of the garden area, and as an element for landscaping empty parts of the garden. Now let's move on to considering the details of growing and caring for the ferns of these varieties.
Features of planting and reproduction
How to plant a fern in the garden at the cottage? Keep in mind that most varieties are shade-loving. It is important to know what kind of soil fern loves in the garden: these plants grow better in moist soil. This is why it is better for them to highlight poorly lit areas where others ornamental plants will not take root.Attention! Another feature of ferns is that there is no need for constant fertilization, so you can not worry about the state of the soil in this area.
In the process of planting these plants, take into account the distance between each hole: focus on the splendor of the selected varieties, the features of the rhizomes and their growth rate. Plan the depth of the holes taking into account the parameters of the adult ferns. If you are settling on long-rooted varieties, free up more space for them or artificially limit this area.
There are several ways how to propagate a fern in the garden, and they depend on the variety of the selected plant:
- disputes;
- dividing the bush;
- mustache rhizomes;
- brood buds.
Since ferns are asexual, you can propagate them with spores. They are contained at the lower level of the leaf plates of mature plants in peculiar tubercles.
In the autumn season, they should be cut off along with part of the leaf plates - and dried in paper packages. At the end of January, spores should be sown from bolls with a soil substrate consisting of peat, leafy earth and sand in a ratio of 2: 1: 1.
Attention! Cover the soil with a thin layer of small spores - and sprinkle it with water from a sprayer, without sprinkling it with earth before moistening.
When the whole area is wet, cover the boxes with glass and place in a warm place. In the second month after sowing, they will begin to germinate, and during this period it is necessary to remove the glass from the surface so that they can “breathe”. The spores will look like thin moss, and eventually turn into small sprouts. During this period, they can be planted in pots with a height of eight centimeters and twelve centimeters in diameter. By the spring, you will have seedlings ready for the soil.
The next way is to propagate the fern by bush division. This applies to varieties with long rhizomes, which can be divided in early spring, when the frost ends.
Certain varieties of fern differ from others by the presence of aboveground whiskers of rhizomes. Over time, new shoots will grow from them. Dig in the mustache eight to twelve centimeters deep into the soil and water thoroughly.
Kostenets, multiforme fern and some other species have leaf plates on which brood buds appear. In the future, young plants (the so-called "babies") will develop from them. They must be separated from the leaf plates and placed on peat moss with good moisture. Cover each young plant with a glass container and place the seedlings in a warm place with poor lighting.
The new plants will take root at a high rate and after a couple of weeks can be used for planting in the garden.

How to care for a plant
How to care for a fern in the garden will be clear even for beginners in this business. In the autumn season, it is mulched, creating a powder at the base for each bush. The powder is made from sawdust and dried leaves and should reach three to five centimeters in height. With the onset of spring, you do not need to get rid of it.
Also, do not prune the foliage before the winter frosts, as the spring shoots will be able to “hammer” the wilted foliage, so that the fern will look neat. When spring arrives, give the plant an organic or compound feed. Another step in caring for a fern in the garden is watering during a dry season.
Remember! Not all fern varieties are resistant to harsh winters. Heat-loving species (for example, such as shitnikov or golokuchnik) need to be sheltered during the winter season.
Let's figure out how to transplant a fern in the country. When can you transplant your garden fern? It is better to carry out such procedures in the spring, when the ferns begin to grow in size. If you do this later, such as replanting a fern in the fall, carefully dig it out of the soil without removing the soil from the root system. After the completion of the transplant, be sure to water and shade the plants. Do not deepen the growth point, as the soil will settle later.
The size of the fossa should be suitable for a lush rhizome. Its top with new shoots of leaf blades should be above the soil boundary. Water the fern thoroughly and cover the soil with water to prevent air from entering. The rhizome should be tightly covered with soil and kept moist.
Many are interested in why the fern dries. If you transplanted a fern in the garden, and it dries up, this indicates that the plant has not yet adapted, or all have not been created the necessary conditions for its correct growth.
Check if the selected area corresponds to the growing characteristics of the variety used, whether the soil is sufficiently moistened, whether the required light rate is provided, and if everything is in order, wait a couple of months until the fern gets used to it.
If some conditions are not met, this plant can change color. For example, the wrong neighborhood or lack of nitrates can be the main explanation why the fern turns black. And one of the reasons why the fern turns yellow in the garden may be over-watering the roots.
We have shared with you some of the nuances of how to plant a fern in the country, and now you can test your gardening skills and embellish garden plot such lush ornamental shrubs.

We will not vouch for its magical properties, but it does not occupy beauty - many landscapes can be decorated with a garden fern. Landing and leaving will already fall on the shoulders of the summer resident, and it is worth talking about all the intricacies of these events in more detail.
Ferns can be attributed to the most ancient plants, which are perfectly preserved and, perhaps, even long time will delight people. But no one could observe flowering during all this time - in any case, no official confirmation was given. This, however, does not prevent him from taking up space in gardens and on plots, complementing the landscape and being beautiful decorative element... But there are more than 10 thousand of them! It is not surprising that every summer resident could pick up absolutely any copy for himself.
Landing
An important aspect that precedes, in fact, the planting itself is the choice of an appropriate place for the fern. Any shaded areas, as well as not too heavy and well-moistened soils, will be considered the best. The combination of these two qualities will be just perfect for great growth. But sunny meadows are completely unsuitable for ferns. Planted in such places, they not only do not grow to the size declared for their species, but they will also be very weak. Pay due attention to this, since a correctly selected place, carried out in accordance with the rules of planting a fern in the country, supplemented with proper care, will allow you to grow a large plant.
It does not require a large amount of fertilizer, so if there are plots of land in the country house in which other flowers do not take root at all, you can safely plant a fern there. Optimal distance on boarding, which would be strict, no. In each case, it is important to be guided only by the size to which it grows. If it belongs to a giant species, then it is rational to observe at least 30 cm distance between each hole intended for planting. If necessary, this figure can be either increased or decreased. It is only important that no other plant interferes with its development and growth. For those individuals that have extensive roots, it is better to immediately provide enough large plot so that it does not interfere with other colors. Or, already at the planting stage, provide artificial limiters for root growth. They can be decorated with a regular fence.
Some summer residents, for whom planting a fern in the fall is also not difficult, recommend placing a pot with it in water before immersing the rhizome in the hole. As soon as air bubbles stop rising, it will be possible to pull out the roots and start planting. By the way, the planting hole will also need to be pre-moistened.
It is important to always make sure that when planting on the rhizome, some amount of soil remains, in which the plant grew before.
It can be found from coniferous forests to the tropics, in almost all natural and climatic zones. Garden fern most often he is an indigenous inhabitant of the same area where the personal plot is located.
Such a selection of crops allows you not to worry about the acclimatization of plants and the creation of special conditions for them. In addition, ferns growing in Russia are no less decorative and attractive than tropical species, but it is much easier to care for them.
Which garden ferns should you choose? Are there species in our forests worthy of decorating, a flower bed or a group planting of conifers?
Ferns in the garden: unpretentious species
If at home growers often grow exotic species, then in the garden - the very place for plants, more adapted to frosty winters, hot summers, autumn cold rains and other vicissitudes of the Russian climate. And there are a lot of such species, adapting to planting and caring in the country, there are many ferns.
One of the first can be called. Although many ferns belonging to this genus are quite thermophilic, there are varieties whose openwork leaves tolerate wintering well in middle lane... Plants prefer partial shade, where they willingly form rosettes of medium-sized, but very attractive leaves, which retain their decorative effect from early spring until snow falls. 
Low-growing woodsia is a medium-sized garden fern that naturally prefers to settle on rocky ledges and even on old walls. The height of the crown of small fluffy leaves, depending on the species, reaches only 5–20 centimeters. At the same time, the plant belongs to long-growing ferns, and in one place it perfectly exists for up to three decades. 
Kochedzhnik forms a dense bush up to a meter high. The peculiarity of this fern growing in the garden is the constant formation of new foliage. 
Bracken is considered to be one of the most widespread ferns in the world. Its clumps can be found in the Arctic lands and in Australia. For the middle lane, this aboriginal species is perfect as a garden culture. The triple carved leaves rise high above the ground level and can become a refuge for early bulbous ones. When planting a fern in the garden and caring for it, the bracken is able to grow rapidly. Therefore, it is important to immediately take measures so that the culture does not go beyond the area allocated to it. 
Osmunda or Chistoust is the largest representative of the family in central Russia and southern Russia. In nature, it can be found only in the forest zone of the Caucasus and eastern Asia. And in the garden where the fern grows, it will become the center of the damp corner. 
On the alpine slides, another non-capricious garden fern will find a place for itself. This is a bubble wort - small shade-tolerant plant with graceful foliage that disappears for the winter.
Planting and caring for garden ferns
To decorate the garden with ferns, plants from both the neighboring grove and the garden center are suitable.
But if in the first case, a carefully dug bush falls into the ground almost instantly, and the gardener may not take measures to further protect the roots, then the fern brought from afar is threatened with drying out and death.
To protect the plant from moisture loss, which is critical for the culture, the rhizomes are wrapped before transportation damp cloth or moss, without disturbing the remaining earthy lump. If the leaves have time to droop before planting, they will no longer regain their elasticity even after watering. To simplify further care, garden ferns are planted immediately.
The place is chosen so that the greenery does not suffer from direct sunlight, and the soil retains little moisture for as long as possible. Plants are undemanding to the composition of the soil, the main thing is that the substrate is loose. Sandy loam mixtures with a high humus content are well suited.
If the plant is taken from the forest, it is useful to collect land here and fill the planting hole with it. This will speed up the acclimatization of the fern in the garden.
In the future, it is important to water the plant regularly at intervals of 5-7 days. And to carry out top dressing using complex means, including organic matter and mineral supplements.
The optimum temperature for garden ferns is 15–25 ° C. On summer days, especially in well-lit areas, plants require more moisture, and are excellent for watering watering with irrigation of foliage.
If a fern planted in the garden grows quickly, then after three years it may grow and require thinning and restriction. Do it in early spring, carefully removing old specimens and dividing the bushes. Along the way, you should outline the boundaries of the site intended for the garden fern by digging in a special mesh, geotextile, slate or boards to a depth of at least 20 cm.
Features of the structure and reproduction of ferns
In addition to dividing mature bushes, some ferns can be propagated by budding. This should be done in early autumn. A developed healthy leaf plate is tilted to the ground and sprinkled with moist soil along the edges so that the central vein remains in the air.
A garden fern leaf that has overwintered in this way will give the gardener several tiny daughter rosettes in the spring. They should be separated very carefully, trying not to damage either the aerial part or the rudiments of the roots. Small ferns are planted in the garden.
If you use the structural features of ferns and their reproduction, you can wait for the maturation of the spores on the back of the leaves.
First, the spores are well dried in paper envelopes, then, in the middle of winter, they are sown over the substrate collected where the fern grows. In moist soil, the spores will have to stay for up to a month, until the first signs of the emergence of new plants become noticeable. In February, the sockets are transferred to the greenhouse, and with the arrival of heat, they are transplanted into the ground to a permanent place.

The garden fern, planting and caring for which is not difficult, is an excellent culture that gives a finished look to any landscape composition. The representative of the department of vascular plants, which witnessed the life of dinosaurs and other extinct species of flora and fauna, is loved by many gardeners and gardeners.
Fern types for growing in the garden
Ferns, representing the Aspleniev family, have more than 10 thousand species, which are classified according to their habitat.
- Forest - a group that prefers acidic, moist soils and is distinguished by its tall growth.
- Rocky - undersized representatives, differing in different requirements for soil and lighting, depending on the specific species
- Marsh - it is possible to meet this class of ferns on the banks of reservoirs, where very high humidity soil.
Forest ferns are generally cultivated as garden ferns.
Among the most popular species and varieties that stand out for their special decorativeness, the following deserve attention:
- The foot maidenhair is a common representative, reaching a height of 30 cm, has horizontally located yellow-green openwork leaves (fronds).
- The Japanese leaf is a kind of fern with fronds of different directions, creating a special randomness, which gives the landscape composition extravagance.
- The ostrich is a tall variety, capable of reaching 1.5 m in height, which is well known to many gardeners. Fronts in the form of light green ostrich feathers are distinguished by their elegance and high decorative qualities, which will adorn any site.
- Kochedzhnik is a variety that combines ferns of not only green, but also red flowers, which perfectly complement the landscape composition, made with a predominance of burgundy - for example, a variety of the color of red wine Burgundy Lace.
- The centipede is a great plant for alpine slides and other stone art objects, which have a creeping root system, which allows the gardener to independently set the direction of development for the fern.
Landing in open ground
When carrying out planting work, it is necessary to take into account such important points, as the preparation of holes, the choice of place and time.
Site selection and soil preparation
In order for the culture to develop well, it is necessary to select a shady area with light and moist soil, where there is a lot of free space.
V preliminary preparation fern does not need soil if its structure is loose enough. In the case of heavy soils, humus and river sand when digging.
Fern is classified as an ancient plant that began to grow on earth many thousands of years before the appearance of man. He is able to decorate the landscape of the garden area.
According to legend, the fern blooms once a year and has mystical properties. In fact, this plant never blooms.
Popular types
This plant has more than 10,000 species, so when decorating their garden, summer residents have big choice... There are ferns growing on trees and on the ground.
The most common types of this plant include:
- ... The plant can be seen in many parts of the world, it is called so because of its feathery leaves, resembling an openwork pattern of ostrich feathers, reaching 1.5 m.With the onset of spring, the fern foliage is rolled up in the form of a cocoon, with warming it opens and turns into a magnificent cone ... Its vertical root system requires it to be periodically loosened and mulched in the fall. This is the most spectacular perennial species forms lush thickets.
- Have common bracken height reaches 70 cm, it grows well on dry and "poor" land. Horizontal view long leaves the plant resembles an eagle's wing. It is dangerous for pets due to the presence of toxic substances; it will not harm humans.
- Female kochedyzhnik... The plant is characterized by dissected leaves, collected in bunches. V natural conditions forms hummocks in swamps. The size of the plant will depend on the variety (30-70 cm), the root system is thick and short. It is able to grow without transplanting to another place for more than ten years.
- Male shieldworm... In nature, it grows in a forest in a shaded place, reaching a height of 30-150 cm. Spores appear on the lower side of the leaf, they are covered with kidney-shaped veils like a shield.

The listed garden views fern - frost-resistant plants and do not need shelter in winter.
Tropical fern species are best grown indoors.
Heat-loving fern species, such as golokuchnik and Linnaeus, require protection from the cold in winter.
Landing conditions
It is important to decide on a place for the fern before planting. Gardeners consider shaded areas to be the most suitable. The soil should not be too heavy and well moistened.
Such parameters will create ideal conditions for growth. If you plant a fern in sunny place, it will not reach the required size and will be weak. A well-chosen place and proper care will allow you to grow a beautiful plant.
Fern practically does not require fertilization. It can be safely planted in the area where other flowers do not take root. For giant species, leave up to 30 cm between the holes for planting. This distance can be either increased or decreased.
In the photo, planting a fern
When planting, pay attention to whether other plants will interfere with the fern's growth.
If it has extensive roots, then it is better to provide for a spacious area, and also put stops for the growth of roots, decorated under an ordinary fence.
When the planting site has already been chosen, it is necessary to prepare the soil and the plant itself for planting. The fern is also planted in the fall; before planting, a pot with a rhizome is placed in the hole.
After the air bubbles disappear, you need to pull out the root and plant it in the ground. The well is also moistened before planting. Make sure that some soil remains on the rhizome, in which the plant previously grew. If the plant grew at home, the soil is taken from the pots, if in the forest, then the soil will be forest.
By choosing the right soil, you "help" the plant to take root faster. It is better not to touch the foliage, so as not to disturb decorative view fern.
Having spread the roots in the deepening, it is necessary to cover them with earth and water them with water that has settled. Plants in pots, planted all year round.
Reproduction methods
Fern propagation is possible in 3 main ways:
- The easiest way is to divide the bush.... It is based on dividing the bulbs, and then planting them on a marked area. It is preferable to carry out such work in the spring. When storing a divided bush during the winter, not all specimens can survive it.
- Reproduction rhizome mustache... In this way, species of ferns are planted in which antennae grow. So, cordifolia nephrolepis has the appearance of aerial processes that spread along the ground. They are buried in the ground 8-12 cm, watered intensively, and soon a new plant appears.
- Reproduction brood buds... This is the most time consuming and least productive way. For planting, the buds are separated (these are small tubercles on the lower part of the leaf), placed on peat soil or on moss, moistening daily. Then each spore is covered with a jar and put away in warm place... Within a short period of time, the "kids" take root, and a month later they are planted in the soil as a full-fledged plant.

The video tells how to plant a fern correctly:
Plant seedlings
It is better to plant seeds in open soil that have been previously grown to the right size... A peat-earth mixture is most suitable for the growth of a fern, because from it he will receive the necessary components in order to grow and develop root system.
They land in each box different varieties and batteries are additionally introduced. Different kinds plants need appropriate fertilizers - compost, nitrogen, chalk and other substances.
Each package with a specific variety is labeled with the appropriate minerals and can be purchased at the garden store. In the case when the gardener was engaged in collecting disputes himself, you should not apply any fertilizers.
If the plant species is unknown, it can react unpredictably.
The soil is heated; for this purpose, the vessel with it is placed on steam and repeatedly heated. It is recommended not to deepen the seeds, but only to sprinkle them with earth on top.
How to care for a plant
The garden fern belongs to unpretentious plants, it is easy to look after him. The plant requires abundant watering, mulch, that is, it must be sprinkled at the base with sawdust or stale foliage by 3-5 cm.
It is especially recommended to sprinkle it with sawdust or stale foliage in autumn, because then you will protect the fern from the cold and from pests. In the spring, such a "blanket" will become good fertilizer for fern plants. Young shoots will be able to break through this cover.
With its beauty, it will amaze you for the bush in the conditions of a summer cottage, breeding methods and other subtleties of growing in the material of our site.
Here you can find a drawing sliding gates for making with your own hands, as well as with detailed photos.
Such plants do not need pruning even in autumn and spring. This is because the leaves cover the ground, creating additional protection... They dry up by spring and can be used as fertilizer.
Shoots that are broken or affected by a disease need pruning to prevent it from spreading.
Top dressing
Ferns do not need to be fertilized. But fertilizers provide plants with useful minerals, and also contribute to good growth... Ferns are usually fed with the onset of spring, as well as the appearance of the first shoots.
If you notice withered, dried, or yellowed leaves, you don't need to repot the plant right away. It may not be enough for him nutrients so you should purchase mineral fertilizer any kind.
It is better if it is liquid, then when watering it will be easy to add to the soil.
During a drought period, you need to increase the watering rate, which will prevent leaves from wilting. Also, plant care can be supplemented by loosening. To do this, you need to have special devices, but you should not deepen it much, so as not to damage the large root system of the fern.
Preparing for winter
V winter period cover only thermophilic plant species, such as golokuchnik, shitnikov and others. They protect from cold in those regions, which are characterized by cold and long winters, using peat and dry leaves for this.
If the plant is not frost-resistant, it is covered with a film on top, covered with leaves or spruce branches are placed on top.
How the plant is used in landscaping
The plant can be dwarf (no more than 3 cm), and large, reaching the size of a tree. But even a short specimen has a spreading root system.
Landscape designers take this factor into account when planting other plants nearby. They must be matched in size, it is then that the fern will stand out favorably among them.
On summer cottage the plant will always find its place
Using this plant, gardeners create wonderful landscape compositions from its different varieties, combining various forms and color shades... If there is a fern on the site, the fern will look great next to it in a composition with other flowers (lilies, arrowheads).
Marsilia fern can be planted in water at a depth of 50-70 cm. Its delicate leaves will add charm to the water surface. The plant will perfectly decorate an alpine slide.
On the site, a fern is planted on the northern, shady side, since it does not tolerate temperatures above 25 degrees badly. For example, they can decorate the walls of a house.
Some of the plant species have medicinal properties that can be used in cooking. For this, young shoots of the plant are used, which are boiled for 10-15 minutes before use.
The less growers disturb and transplant ferns, the more luxurious they grow.
