Thank you so much. This talk is the perfect resource for me since I live in New Jersey!

Great Video with lots of information. Problem for most of the USA that isn't living in the East Coast area where they grow naturally. We can only get outdoor ferns through the mail. Our Nurseries and Lowes and Home Depot stores sell Indoor ferns. The cost of a root/rhizome and shipping is pretty expensive. And to make matters worse, they can be smashed due to mail handling. Or the box, papers and bags that contain them can be torn and broken. Then they are dried out. I bought over $1000.00 dollars in plants, root stock, bulbs and rhizomes and seeds, (a lot of money for me). Many types of ferns and shade plants. I am usually a person with a very green thumb. And took a landscaping course years back. I bought from MANY different on line nurseries. It has been a huge money loss. Many things grew, but more didn't. I planted them in pots for many weeks before outside planting. I wish more people creating videos would give us addresses of where to get good plants, seeds etc. Thank you very much!
Just a P.S. CasaFlora does NOT sell to the public...... The others I guess have no Internet addy.

Buy western sword ferns...they are extremely hardy. Mine have been covered in 3’ of snow in Oregon and grow back fine. Our entire forests in Oregon are covered in them.

Thank you for sharing this! If it wasn't a webinar, I would have never been able to enjoy this presentation all the way in Wisconsin.

This was uuuuuuuuuuuber helpful. I got this Tennessee Ostrich Fern, Diplazium pycnocarpon, I thought it was the edible kind.. but it looks like the edible ones are Matteuccia struthiopteris. Lol imagine a food shortage and they only thing I had for a snack were some emerging fiddleheads and I get sick 😫 because I didn't cultivate the right ones. 🙃

Thanks for this great webinar - I plan to revisit it again and again!

I planted marginal wood fern as a foundation plant to soften the edges in a garden bed

You did a great job with your talk

Where do u recommend buying fern spores/roots? It’s hard to choose online with mixed reviews of venders Also do you have transplanting tips ?

[@olgakuchukov6981]

Thank you! Now where to find the more interesting ferns? Not even Native Plant Trust has some of these in their catalog. I’m thinking the silvery glade fern can give the all too readily available Japanese painted fern a run for its money. If only native plants were more of a thing at the frontline nurseries that deal with customers who come in knowing nothing and looking for guidance.

[@geemer3374]

Hi, i'm wondering if there are any ferns that can thrive in areaa where there can be windy days

[@NikosKatsikanis]

respect

[@ivettesantana4319]

am zone 6b and ferns just dont come back while everything else does. idk what to do but not put them in the ground

[@MarciaMatthews]

At the old homestead was a fernery with tall fronds over my head. Searching for that tall fern.

[@MarciaMatthews]

Maybe ostrich fern for its fiddleheads.

[@ksero1000]

Any chance the hayscented fern will discourage growth or spread of japanese knotweed?

[@Cathy24601]

Do you find that the rabbits eat many of these? They eat my, ‘Lady in Red’, fern.

[@bikegeist]

Fantastic!
