Need consistent moisture; well-drained soil. Can get burned/bleached by the sun. May look a bit ragged by the end of the season. Deciduous.
Can be difficult to grow if proper conditions are not met. Does well in ‘open’ shade, but not closed-in dark areas, if that makes sense.
May not take transplant well, be sure to give lots of water (but well-draining, not boggy conditions). In the wild it is often found near spring banks or waterfalls.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Southern Maidenhair Fern is a hardy plant.These estimates for how long Southern Maidenhair Fern takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
