Sensitive Fern

Prefers moist soil. Usually grows taller in wet soils which it tolerates well. Spreads by both creeping rhizomes and spores, and can be somewhat aggressive in optimum growing conditions. Commonly called sensitive fern because the green vegetative fronds are sensitive to and suffer almost immediate damage from the first fall frost. Plants die back completely in the winter. Divide in fall or spring. Attracts birds.
