Dennstaedtia punctilobula

Fern - Hay-scented

Hay-scented Fern has lacy green foliage that will take somewhat dry, relatively sunny sites. Dennstaedtia punctilobula is a deciduous spreader that can handle poor soils well. When the fronds are brushed against, they release the smell of fresh cut hay. Native to open woods and wooded banks in the eastern and midwestern US.
