Onoclea sensibilis - SENSITIVE FERN
Spreading fern with larger and coarsely lobed leaves of chartreuse green color. Easily grown in wet clay soil.
Usually 1.5-2' tall, quite quickly spreading fern, the name comes from its sensitivity to first frosts (that turn the leaves black), but it's also sensitive to droughts.
Half shade, full shade, wet, moist soil to average-moist (medium) soil. Virtually any soil, including clay, loves some moisture and grows taller there. Grows fine in average garden soil with average moisture.
Hardy in zones 3 to 9. Native to central and eastern USA, see the USDA distribution map.
Best for bigger areas, wildflower areas, bigger rain garden or woodland gardens, along streams and pond or in any wet to moist soil, erosion control.
