Sun-loving ferns for sunny locations

Both Osmonde and the female fern can tolerate non-burning sun and moist soil. Some species, such as the Polypodium vulgare or the Cheilanthes, can even tolerate some drought. Others, like Dryopteris or the Asplenium scolopendrium, andthe Hart's-tongue fern, thrive in limestone soil, but in shade. Ferns come from many diverse environments,  This diversity means that there is a fern perfect for every garden.
