Autumn Ferns or Holly Ferns are two types of "Hardy" ferns....they will stay green even during freezing weather. There are several other types of hardy ferns, too.
Would anyone know of a good suggestion for a fern or other similar plant for outside during the winter?
Where are you? It matters . There are some hardy evergreen ferns for cold climates , such as Christmas Fern( Polystichum acrostichoides) . Not sure if they'd stay green without snow cover during the worst cold . (I.e ., in a pot , for ex. )
There are also some evergreen, hardy bamboos. Not familiar enough with bamboo to know if any of them have the finely-textured foliage that you seek .
Reply:Down south, we grow rye grass. Camellias are now in bloom in the south and will be for several more months, next, I think in Feb. comes the Japanese Magnolias.
Hard to tell you, not knowing your climate.
Reply:If you are in the south, holly ferns are wonderful. If you want a boston fern look, try a Kinmberly queen. They grow in the ground in zone 8a.
