How shall we best protect our plants? There are pesticides, dust, simple physical repellents, ample watering and sunlight but can we go one further? Do you know your plant and its growth cycle? Here is a bit of trivia about the sensitive fern. The Sensitive Fern, Onoclea sensibilis, is a large, somewhat coarse deciduous fern which occurs in wet woods and thickets and in moist soils along streams and springs. Sensitive Ferns can grow up to 4' tall. It features long-stalked, deeply pinnatifid, bright green, vegetative (sterile) fronds (2-4' long) with leathery, triangular leaflets (pinnae) which have distinctively netted veins. It is best not to remove dead fronds until spring, because they provide protection for the crowns over the winter. Backyardgardener is the Largest Gardening Store in the World.
