Hart's Tongue Fern is unique in its appearance, with long, smooth fronds that unfurl into tall and narrow blades. Lacking the tooth-like divisions most ferns are known for, this plant still delivers loads of interest to the garden with its pointed tips that remain curled until the last moment, and notably thick, cigar-shaped spores. The Hart's Tongue Fern will flourish in shady, cool areas with moist soil. (Asplenium scolopendrium)

Description

An unusual fern with "tongue" shaped undivided fronds. The word scolopendrium is Latin for "centipede" and is used for this fern due to the patterns on the fronds resemble centipede legs. Do not let Harts Tongue dry out between waterings as it requires moist soil.
