Onoclea

Sensitive Ferns

Fall Fern Sale - all ferns at least 1/3 off

Onoclea (On-o-CLEE-a) Sensitive Fern

A single species, common in the eastern US, where under ideal conditions it forms colonies. Onoclea sensibilis is sometimes called Bead Fern because the dark fertile bodies resemble upright strands of  beads. In fertile conditions it can be a real spreader, so it is not appropriate for a small or formal setting. More tolerant of sun than most species, it also performs well in shade. I’ve heard that it is called Sensitive Fern for its innate ability to empathize, but others say it is just because the fronds are sensitive to the first hard frost. The rigid bead structures stay upright and decorative through winter.

Nursery Propagated Ferns - We do not sell ferns, or any other plants for that matter, that have been collected in the wild. All of our ferns have been nursery propagated. This not only protects wild populations, but potted, nursery propagated ferns are much easier to establish in the garden than plants dug in the wild and shipped bareroot.
