Onoclea sensibilis

Sensitive Fern.   

Onoclea sensibilis is a deciduous fern with finely cut pale green fronds, pinkish bronze in spring, that mixes well with other perennials.

Onoclea sensibilis is a popular ornamental plant that is valued for its unique appearance and hardiness. It is often used in rock gardens, woodland gardens, and as a groundcover.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
