Sensitive Fern (Onoclea sensiblils)
from $5.00
Sensitive Fern is found in a range of light conditions, but it is always found where there is ample moisture. The fronds are once-compound and the leaflets have wavy edges.
Sterile fronds are a yellow-green color. Fertile fronds are made up of tightly packed structures that hold the spores. They are dark in color and eventually turn black, overwintering this way, until spores are released the next spring. This fern can also spread by rhizome.
Sensitive Fern emerges in the spring after the danger of frost is past and wilts down in the fall at first frost.
Illinois Wildflowers mentions that imprints of ferns very similar to this were found dating back to the time of the dinosaurs!
