(Shaggy Shield Fern)
Shaggy shield fern is a semi-evergreen fern with an erect rhizome producing green fronds with dark brown scales. It is native to much of eastern Asia, from northern India eastward into China and Japan.
Like most ferns, it performs best in shade and moist soil, though once established will do well in partial sun and drier conditions. Shaggy shield fern makes an excellent addition to the woodland garden, a shaded rockery, along the edge of a bog, or in a mixed border.

(Autumn Fern, Copper Shield Fern)
The colorful autumn fern is a winter deciduous fern native to China and Japan. The glossy fronds emerge coppery-red in spring, turn green in summer, and rusty brown in fall.

The upright, leathery, dark-green fronds are evergreen in their southern-most regions, and deciduous in cooler climates. Bronze spores are scattered along the frond, especially at the base. Southern wood fern, like most ferns, thrives in moist, acidic, humus-rich soil;...
Grandiflora
(Kunth's Maiden Fern, Southern Shield Fern, Southern Wood Fern, Widespread Maiden Fern)
The Southern Shield Fern is an exceptional deciduous fern native to North America and the West Indies. Its gracefully arching fronds are a medium-green color that turn bronze in the fall. It spreads rapidly via rhizomes to form large colonies. In a shady spot it is drought tolerant but it will also tolerate more sun than most ferns with adequate watering. It makes a great addition to a woodland garden or shady xeriscape.
