They make a nice ground cover in those areas. I can barely squeeze in a few ferns.

You must be pretty happy with them.

I love the way the pink and white form a pattern. Mary, which ferns do you grow between them?

If only I had the space to grow that many...

It is evergreen here and toleratesour high heat and humidity. I also have the native Christmas Ferns that came with the property and have added some Maiden Hair and Holly ferns. I am trying sensitive fern this year as well. I have a few connamon ferns but they don't get really big like they do in the North.

A few weeks back I composted probably 50 large plants like this, but they're all beautiful aren't they? I guess I sometimes get too caught up in the details. Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "7"   Goswimmin  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 08:05 am EST :    Wow Joseph! Composting them. Why don't you call your local extension office and see if the Master Gardeners there can use them in parks, etc. that they maintain. Here in Gainesville I have put many in public places and people really appreciate seeing them in late winter. Mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"   Jgwoodard  My Garden Posted on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 06:29 am EST :    I know it's a waste Mary, but I only had a couple of weeks to do two months worth of work. Something had to give. A few people got some new plants out of it though, their first hellebores actually. :-) Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "7"   Notmartha  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 08:39 am EST :    wow thats wonderful! I only have a small group right now but just ordered 20 mixed (i hope) plants from a co-op! Ive never seen so many in one spot!! BEAUTIFUL! Compost-faint-plant trades or for postage!! poor babies! Notmartha - mi, Zone "6a"   Maggiepie  Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 03:17 pm EST :    What a beautiful sight they are. Hope my babies end up like that.
