A deciduous fern widely ranging in the eastern US in moist woods, the Netted Chain Fern forms spreading colonies from its branching and creeping rhizomes. Glossy green sterile fronds grow about 2' tall and have 8 to 10 broad segments. The texture is soft. Fertile fronds are stiffer, narrower, and more upright. The leaflets or pinnae of both fertile and sterile fronds have conspicuously netted veins resulting in the common name, Chain Fern. This fern is easy to grow in a moist shaded spot and will form a fast ground cover with constant moisture. Cat# 1476
