Sensitive fern, Onoclea sensibilis, is found in moist woodlands, swamps and along the banks of streams throughout Eastern North America. Its native range extends from Newfoundland south to Florida, and all the way west to Colorado.
It performs best in average to moist, rich soils, and can tolerate occassional flooding. It is a great plant for rain gardens. In favorable locations, Sensistive Fern will naturalize and spread by rhizomes. If it becomes too aggressive, it is easy to thin. It can thrive in average garden soils, or in full sun, if there is consistent moisture and it does not dry out. Its common name refers to the tendency of the leaves to die-back and be sensitive to the first frost in fall.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
