Hay-Scented Fern ‘Punctilobula’

Dennstaedtia punctilobula is a deciduous hay-scented fern native to eastern North America that thrives in part to full sun with average moisture. The beautiful hairy, oval-oblong fronds emerge yellow-green in spring and release a pleasant hay-like fragrance when brushed or crushed. This vigorous fern spreads by rhizomes to form attractive groundcover colonies, making it ideal for naturalizing in woodland edges or slope stabilization in Falmouth gardens. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and deer browsing.
