Onoclea sensibilis
Sensitive Fern likely gets its common name from its intolerance for cold, the sterile fronds dying at the first frost. Sensitive Fern tolerates both shade and sun and does well enough in a home garden with adequate moisture. The bright green leaves are eye-catching. It can form colonies from its long rhizomes, creating a thick mat of roots.
