Yellow ferns are not entirely of that color but have a mix of green, canary, and orange in their fronds. Do not mistake them for ferns that have diseased and yellowing leaves, though!

Ferns are one of the most versatile plants to add texture and softness to a shade garden. Northern (Adiantum pedatum) and Southern (Adiantum capillus-veneris) maidenhair ferns are native to the Southeast. When planted in the right conditions, they add an airy and ethereal touch to a shady area.
The genus name Adiantum is derived from the Greek word adiantos, meaning unwetted, as maidenhair ferns have water-repellant foliage. The species name,pedatum, for the Northern maidenhair fern, means bird’s foot in Latin. The Southern maidenhair fern’s species name, capillus-veneris, comes from Latin, meaning hair (capillus) and Venus (veneris).
Both species of maidenhair ferns grow best in organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in part to full shade. These beautiful ferns should receive a few hours of early morning sun only if planted in partial shade. The fronds will turn brown if kept too dry or in too much sun. They will slowly spread by rhizomes and are deciduous. If you have issues with deer eating your hostas, substitute them with maidenhair ferns, as deer seldom bother them. There are rarely issues with insects or diseases.
The Northern maidenhair fern has palmately divided fronds (finger-like projections, similar to fingers radiating from the palm of your hand). The bright green foliage contrasts well with the reddish-brown to black wiry stems. The new fiddleheads will have a pink cast when emerging in the spring. It is cold hardy from USDA planting zones 3 through 8 and will be 1 to 3 feet tall and wide.
The Southern maidenhair fern, also commonly called Venus-hair, has fine, lacy foliage and adds a graceful, delicate touch to a shady garden planting. The wiry stems are black and contrast well with the verdant green

How to Grow and Care for a Staghorn Fern
The staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum) is an exotic plant in the Polypodiaceae family. Native to the rainforests of Australia and Southeast Asia, it’s an epiphyte plant, so grows directly on other plants (typically the forks of trees) and has no need for soil. Its roots absorb water directly from the tree it’s growing on.

Rabbit’s Foot Fern
Rabbit’s foot fern (Davallia solida var. fejeensis) is a favorite of mine and one of the easiest tropical houseplant ferns to grow. Native to Fiji, the genus name, Davallia, was derived in honor of the Swiss botanist Edmond Davall. This beautiful fern has lacy, graceful fonds along with furry rhizomes that grow over the top of the soil and will drape over the sides of a container. Be sure to plant in a container or hanging basket where the fuzzy rhizomes can be seen.
