Commonly known as the Sensitive fern, this perennial, deciduous, rhizomatous, fern has a suckering habit. Lobed pinnate fronds are initially bronze, turning to light green as they mature. Fronds look extremely attractive in autumn. 

A must have plant for your ferneries, the Sensitive fern thrives in shady to part shady conditions with a moisture retentive soil. Often used as under-planting trees and shrubs or in low maintenance borders.
