Virginia Chain Fern occurs throughout the eastern US in the acid soils of bogs, thickets, and wet pinelands. It forms spreading colonies of erect, fairly narrow 3' tall fronds that have attractive very dark stems and petioles that contrast nicely with the bright green leaves. Newly emerging leaves start out bronze, then are a nice green before yellowing and dropping off for the winter. Plant Virginia Chain Fern in a moist place with some shade where it can spread. Great companions might be Bowmans Root, Pinxterbloom Azalea, other ferns, or foamflower. Cat# 1477
