RE: hardy ferns

Don't know about the zone, but you might look into Nephrolepis Biserrata
and / or Biserrata 'Furcans.'  Those are the first two that spring to
mind in that size that are at least somewhat native.  M. Struthiopteris
should survive through the winter there, and is quite large, as well as
Osmunda Regalis, O. Cinnamomea, Athyrium Pycnocarpon...

   Best,

We have just recently cleared out an area in our yard of under growth.
I 
would like to plant some large ferns (3 feet +) in the area.  We are in
USDA 
zone 7,  the area is heavy shade, or another location is dappled sun/
shade. 
I'm looking for both plant recommendations and sources.

Thanks

Candy
