Dryopteris carthusiana

Spinulose wood fern, is a native fern of Ohio and typically grows 2-3' tall. Features lacy, bright lime-green, outward-growing fronds with blackish scales on the stipes (frond stems). Fronds will remain green in mild winters. Fronds are finely toothed and dissected. Formerly named D. spinulosa. Use this fern in part to deep shade, dry soil under trees or wet soils near ponds and river banks or in rain gardens. Combine with coral bells and Hosta. Plant in evenly moist, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like compost and planting mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting; reapply midsummer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Excellent woodland garden color and texture.
