Species of Sensitive fern
Petnarhizidium
Petnarhizidium is a genus of two Asian fern species.
Sensitive ferns
Sensitive ferns (Onoclea) are so-named because of their high frost-sensitivity – the leaves tend to die back immediately after the fall's first frost. The plant's life persists in its rhizome underground. In spite of this cold sensitivity, they make for very popular ornamentals, sporting beautiful, geometric green fronds.
Ostrich Fern
Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia) are large, showy ferns with bright green fronds that are said to resemble ostrich feathers. More tightly-curled fronds develop in autumn, in compact upright spirals that last until spring when they release their spores. Hardy and handsome, these are popular ornamental plants in parks and gardens around the temperate world.
