Fern, Cinnamon

SKU: OC01-SS
$15.00Price
1 Gallon
  • Pollinator value:  Low.  Larval host for moths.

    Striking in moist, shady areas, this fern provides an attractive accent and can climb to heights of 5 feet or more.  

    Its spring “fiddleheads” unfurl into large yellow-green summer fronds that yellow in the fall.  This fern owes its name to the cinnamon-colored spore cases that appear on the stalks in late spring.
