About this plant

Interrupted Fern is a majestic native fern that grows best in full to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. It resembles the Cinnamon Fern but is named for the distinctive fertile pinnae that interrupt the middle portion of the frond. Yarmouth homeowners appreciate its stately upright form and adaptability to both wet and moderately dry conditions. This impressive fern creates bold textural interest in woodland gardens and shaded borders throughout the growing season.
