Description:
The Northern Maidenhair Fern is a native fern with finely textured frilly foliage (fronds) on curved stems. These curved stems are reddish-brown to black in color. Plant this type of fern in a location that has consistent moisture that is also well draining; it does not like to dry out. This clump forming fern has pink crosiers (coiled young fiddleheads) in spring. Fertilize with Espoma Holly-Tone as directed as this fern prefers acidic soils.
