Sensitive Fern, a Freely Running, Deciduous Fern with Broad

The Sensitive Fern, also known as Onoclea sensibilis, is a freely running, deciduous fern with broad, deeply pinnatifid smooth leaves. It is native to North America and can be found in moist woodlands and swamps. The Sensitive Fern is a popular ornamental plant due to its delicate foliage and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions.

Here are some tips for growing Sensitive Fern:

  • Plant in full sun to partial shade.
  • Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
  • Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Divide the plant every few years to maintain its vigor.

Here are some ideas for how to use Sensitive Fern in your landscape:

  • Plant a bed of Sensitive Fern to create a colorful and low-maintenance groundcover.
  • Plant Sensitive Fern in a rock garden or other shady area.
  • Plant Sensitive Fern in a container and place it on your patio or deck.

Additional tips:

  • The Sensitive Fern is a relatively easy plant to grow, but it does require some care. Be sure to water the fern regularly and fertilize it in the spring. You should also divide the fern every few years to maintain its vigor.
  • The Sensitive Fern is a relatively pest- and disease-resistant plant. However, it can be susceptible to aphids and other sucking insects. If you see any pests on your Sensitive Fern, treat them immediately with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • The Sensitive Fern is a great addition to any garden. It is easy to grow and can be used in a variety of landscape settings.

Interesting fact: The Sensitive Fern is named for its fronds, which are sensitive to cold weather and will turn brown and die back in the fall. The plant will then regrow new fronds the following spring.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.

We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.

Note
Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
