The immense number of species in the fern family means that there is a fern for every soil and situation in the garden. From majestic, eye-catching palms, such as the gigantic royal fern (osmunda regalis), to soft feathery ferns and pretty climbers such as Asplenium ferns, these easy-to-grow perennials thrive in semi-shade and make excellent companion plants, bringing a touch of green and gold to any garden. Concise and illustrated, this handbook features detailed information on all aspects of fern care, providing a valuable reference for both amateur gardeners and experienced growers. A straightforward approach to essential techniques, together with advice on tackling pests and other problems and a directory of recommended varieties, should ensure successful results. The "RHS Wisley Handbooks" series is written by the country's leading authorities in the subject.
