Thelypteris noveboracensis | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
One of the most commonly found fern, thelypteris noveboracensis is arguably the most effective option when seeking groundcover for woodland gardens. A vigorous spreader, the New York fern, as it is also known, grows erect but boasts elegant fronds that comprise as many as 25 pairs of lance-shaped pinnae, each tapering at the end. It loves the shade, and can brown due to sun-scalding when in strong, direct sunlight too long. It thrives in moist but well-drained loamy soils, and it is important to steer clear of boggy locations. Pruning by cutting back its creeping rhizomes is necessary to contain its spread.
