HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Sensitive Fern

Sensitive Fern leaves and fertile fronds It is hard to guess how Sensitive Fern Onoclea sensibilis got its name as it has tough leathery leaves that can grow in the full sun in a sufficiently wet area. The leaf shape is not particularly fernlike with pairs of undivided leaflets along the frond. Fertile fronds look completely different and they remain standing on stiff stalks after the sterile leaves have died down at the first frost. The sporing heads are green at first turning dark brown and persisting until the next growing season. [CH] {FG}
