I had posted back in April (see below) about my autumn ferns from lowe's that i planted last year because they hadn't showed any new growth yet. Well it's now the end of May and i think one of them is showing 3 new tiny leaves (they aren't autumn colored though, they are green) but my other fern isn't showin any signs of life, do i wait longer or do you think it might not have survived the winter? Thanks in advance for your help! :o)

MY ORIGINAL POST...

"I bought 2 small pots of autumn ferns from lowe's last year and planted them in the ground in a partly shady area. The leaves stayed greenish throughout the winter then started to die off more late winter early spring, and i trimmed them off. So far i've not seen any new growth, i don't know if i'm bein impatient or if i did something wrong. I had put some Osmocote on them last year and some Miracle grow acidic power mixed in water after i read online they like acidic soil. Thanks in advance for your help!"
