If you have a shady patch in your rain garden or swale, Asplenium bulbiferum might be a good choice to fill the niche. Sometimes, Asplenium is called “Mother Fern” as it produces small plantlets at the edges of its leaves, which will fall and take root where conditions are favorable. Mother Ferns need both shade and ample water, and care should be taken to keep the slug and snail population in check around them.
