Hart, My sensitive ferns are about 18 inches.
Happy, What about Bloody Dock? I don't know much about it but I will say that is has been a beautiful addition to my shade bed. I got some at one of the swaps. Think maybe Critters fall swap and I wasn't sure I wanted it. I thought it would be a sun plant and it looked a bit like one of my nasty weeds. But I brought it home and last fall stuck it in the shady bed behind the potting shed along with quite a few other plants. The intent was just to get them in the ground before winter. WOW have I ever developed a liking for it. Looks great in my shade bed and how I could have thought I would have mistaken it for one of those weeds I will never know.
