A surprise growing in some of my gardens

Post by boops »

Its called a Sensitive Fern, I did not plant it, they started appearing recently and thought they were weeds until I inquired on a different site. so I dug up the two I just found and transplanted them into my Hosta Gardens :D

If they like the spot they are pretty vigorous spreaders, that's for sure. We have them wild here around the wetland areas, and I think it is a nice fern, but don't let it go crazy :)
