FamilyOnocleaceae
Botanical nameOnoclea sensibilis

Onoclea sensibilis is a native deciduous fern with light, finely lobed foliage that forms low, spreading clumps in cool to moist soils. Very hardy and easy to grow, it owes its name to its sensitivity to cold, disappearing at the first frost. Ideal for shade borders or living forest gardens and for naturalizing, its creeping rhizomes have an invasive but easy-to-control tendency.
