I'd like to plant a mix of ferns (preferably evergreen) in a shady, dry site at the foot of a small tree. Can anyone suggest some ferns that might like these conditions?

Blechnums will also tolerate dry shade, especially B.spicant

I have 6 different ferns. I have no idea of their names. I picked them up at carboot sales and charity shops but they are all lovely plants and do well in a dry shady area of my garden. I usually leave the old foliage on until the fresh begins to show in spring and then cut it off. I don't know whether this is the right way with ferns but they have thrived for a number of years.
