I live in New Orleans and Boston Fern has run wild in my sideyard. Our zone is almost tropical so ferns and other plants, that should be annuals, actually function as perennials here. Every 5 or 6 years we will get a cold spell that will kill the foliage on the ferns but they always come back. They have formed a sort of ground cover in the sideyard. I love them.
