Well, Gene, I guess you didn't struggle and then prevail with the plant so
you have no insight to help others who find this a favorite plant but
haven't succeeded in getting it to thrive. I've tried about 8 plants from 4
different sources over the last 4 years, including different locations and
close attention to its preferred soil.
So--good for you and still too bad for us!

Hello Diann & others,
Here we go on the Maidenhair fern thing again...... I sure am glad I did
not
know how difficult that plant was .... certainly glad my plants knew nothing
of it
when I planted them.... I have Maidenhair ferns in two locations here.... 3
if you
count the nursery display pots (neutral medium). One clump is on a rocky
cliff
edge and is about two feet in diameter after quite a few years. It began
from one
little rhizome. Another has been in a raised bed in rather open spot for 3
years
now and doing just fine thank you. It was planted from my nursery stock.
The plant in my main garden came from local woods, the one is my raised
bed is
originally from a northern wholesaler. Maidenhair happen to be among my
favorites.... wonderful lacy woodland plant.
