    I've already got Asplenium trichomanes ‘Maidenhair Spleenwort’ which tolerates full sun, anyone got experience of other ferns that I can stick into my hot tropical borders please.

      I have several Osmundas growing in full sun but they're in very wet soil, which helps.

      Southern Shield ferns seemed to tolerate the sun but all sucuumbed to the terrible frost last winter. (-12°) Giant Chain Ferns ditto.

      Dropteris Filix Mas grows for me in the sun but they're very yellow compared to ones in the shade. It can take dryness very well.
