Hi
You have late summer, while we have late Winter. Do your ferns go dormant in cold weather?

Hello Paulj! Actually as far as I know, no. These forests never get so cold that the ferns need to go dormant. Everything is growing year-round! Moss, ferns, trees, shrubs, all are in leaf all the time. These are evergreen mist forests, neither cold nor drought affect the plants. In exceptionally dry years, a few of the trees might be affected, but otherwise, no.

It's a lovely photo. 
I don't know much about ferns, but I get the impression that in the UK, they flourish in damp places.

They grow along the back side of my house.
But they die to the ground in winter.

I associate them with forests here, and the fact that you aren't supposed to steal them from state or national parks. 
But yes, like everything but evergreens, they die back in winter.
