<p>Often overlooked and underused, ferns can fill many roles in the garden. In shady or wet conditions that may be unsuitable for other plants there are ferns that will thrive. Many can provide&nbsp;a lush tropical foliage effect that's hard to accomplish with hardy plants, and add&nbsp;subtle color and bold texture in shade. Some make great groundcovers for a woodland&nbsp;setting, and some&nbsp;are evergreen or semi-evergreen, providing an extended season of interest.</p>
