Like most garden ferns, Hypolepis prefers partial shade, and rich, well-drained, consistently moist, woodland soils. Hypolepis looks great when planted with larger woodland plants such as amorphophallus, tricyrtis, and ligularia. And as a bonus, these ferns are deer-resistant. You can believe the hype with hypolepis.

More Information About Hypolepis
The genus Hypolepis is a group of 40-50 fern species distributed primarily in the tropics and in temperate parts of the southern hemisphere. The name hypolepis is derived from the Greek for "under scale" which is a reference to the spore producing sori under the margin of the frond. A few hypolepis species will grow in temperate gardens and, due to their typically large arching fronds, make attractive garden ferns. Ferns in the genus Hypolepis have a spreading habit and work well as groundcover plants or foundation plantings. This stoloniferous habit also means that you will have plenty of Hypolepis divisions to share with friends.
