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.
