They grow under fully or partially shaded parts of gardens where they benefit from moist but well-drained and loamy soil and moderate watering at regular intervals. When provided with these conditions ferns will produce abundance of lush fronds.</p>\n<p>Ferns come in large and small sizes. Some are dwarf and some grow taller. Some form small clusters and some sprawl to cover the landscape. Depending on the size and layout of your garden, you can use ferns in your landscapes for many purposes. They can be used as companion plants with other flowering plants. You can use ferns to provide a lush-green background to your flower beds. You can also incorporate them in your landscapes as specimen plants grown in containers or hanging baskets.</p>\n<h2>Ferns in Garden Landscape</h2>\n<p>Here are a few examples of ferns beautifully used in garden landscapes.</p>\n<div><a href=\"http://www.houzz.com/photos/4421238/Suburban-Oasis-contemporary-landscape-new-york\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/d211ed6601c472c1_8-1470/contemporary-landscape.jpg\" alt=\"Contemporary Landscape with Ferns by New York Architects &amp;
