Adiantum pedatum
Northern Maidenhair Fern
A deciduous clump forming fern growing up to two feet tall. Fronds extend out from curved brown to black stalks and are palmate in finger-like projections giving an appearance somewhat like that of a starfish. Prefers moist, humus, acidic soils and full shade. Slow growing spreading by creeping rhizomes will naturalize to form large colonies over time. USDA zone 3.
