FERN: Onoclea sensibilis (Sensitive or Bead Fern)
Tried and True Native Plant Selection for the Mid-Atlantic
Sensitive fern, with deeply lobed, chartreuse sterile fronds, is an excellent ground cover for low moist garden areas. It grows best sheltered from prevailing winds in soil that does not dry out. Fertile fronds are bead-like, hence its other common name.
