I have; lady, christmas, Japanese painted, interrupted, maiden hair,tatting; all are non wanderers. The clump just gets bigger and I dig them up , divide them and plant them where i want them to be. My autumn fern died after two years, so can't comment on that one.
I spent Satuday clipping the tops of Ostrich ferns that had wandered where I do not want them. I cut them off at the crowns.

I've got autumn ferns, christmas ferns, ostrich ferns and japanese painted ferns. The autumn ferns are not invasive and grow vertically about 3 feet. Very nice, full fronds. The JPF is low to the ground but unique looking.

Yes to all of the above. Your ostrich ferns have the botanical name Matteuccia, and those are invasive. A couple of other small fern families also are. But the biggest families are Dryopteris and Polystichum, and neither of these spread at all; mind you they may not be quite hardy enough for you. Two smaller families with non-invasive and very hardy members are Cryptogramma and Woodsia. These latter are specialty items you can probably only get by mail order (check Fraser's Thimble Farm). Also look into Adiantum aleuticum (Maidenhair) which you may be able to grow with protection, and the Osmunda family, which is hardy to zone 2-3.

My Matteuccias are very firmly confined to a pot! Almost all the rest are in the ground, and do not spread.

What you want is a non-agressive fern, not a non-invasive fern

you are rather limited if you are really Zone 2. Autumn Fern is zone 5 but D. marginalis wood fern is said to be very hardy, makes a simple vase shaped crown

also the Clayton or Interrrupted Fern, the Royal Fern and the Cinnamon Fern are also zone 2. The Cinnamon fern also spreads some but not nearly as fast as the Ostrich

I think that my tiny backyard helps to create a microclimate that extends to a 4 and sometimes a 5. I am able to winter over columbine, ferns [aggressive], globe flower, hostas, tulips, mint [being dug out], LUPINS, roses so I do think that Japanese painted fern would work for me. It is very low to the ground though so I had thought that I would like to find something that would grow taller - background for Francis Williams Hosta
