Sensitive Fern
Onoclea sensibilis, commonly called sensitive fern, is a large, somewhat coarse, native deciduous fern which occurs in wet woods and thickets and in moist soils along streams and springs. The sterile fronds grow up to 4 ft (1.2 m) tall, with the fertile bead-covered fronds growing to 12 to 18 in. (30-45 cm)
Commonly called sensitive fern because the green vegetative fronds are very sensitive cold and suffer almost immediate damage from the first fall frost.
