Cinnamon Fern, like its cousins Royal Fern and Interrupted Fern, is a bold and majestic fern that grows in damp acidic places throughout eastern North America and even down to Mexico and the West Indies. Its bright green twice cut sterile fronds grow about 3 to 4 feet tall and 6 inches wide from thick, wiry rootstocks. But it gets its name, Cinnamon Fern, from the very different fertile fronds which contain the spores or reproductive parts. The fertile fronds may grow a foot or so taller but are very narrow and sparse looking like a thin frond that has been rolled in cinnamon. Grow this handsome fern in moist to wet acidic soil in partial sun to shade where its beautiful vase shape can reach its potential. Cat# 1153
