Ferns by foundation

Question

I currently have ferns that are growing next to my foundation. I would like to keep the ferns, but will they hurt my foundation?

Answer 1

Their root systems aren't considered invasive, but the clumps do spread. They are fine near a foundation. They especially work well if you have a shaded foundation.
