Fern Plants will grow just about anywhere, if proper care is given. There is a species of fern that can inhabit nearly every condition on the planet. Fern plants add a nice touch to any garden. There are fern plants that are vividly colored and most will survive best in shaded regions.
Fern plants differ from other kinds of plants in several ways. One way that ferns differ is how they propagate. Instead of growing from a seed or a flower, fern plants reproduce sexually using spores. Another difference between fern plants and other plants is that they grow in different conditions than most other vascular plants. Fern plants prefer areas that are wetter and shadier than many other plants.

Castor oil (Fatsia japonica)
The castor oil is a magnificent tropical looking plant but
is actually a supper hardy plant that can withstand temperatures of -15'c. The castor oil flowers in mid-autumn and the flowers are a ghostly white colour. The castor oil is a shrub (a plant with lots of trunks) it also can grow to the size of a small tree. It is a good plant to have in a garden because it attracts lots of pollinators but there are lots of sub-species of castor oil that are poisonous and are really not hardy.
