18-24" tall x 24-36" wide. Hay-Scented Fern is a lush, naturalizing fern that can cover some ground! Delicate, lacy fronds emit a fresh-mown grass smell when brushed, and its bright green foliage turns a golden-russet color in fall. Use it to fill in open spaces or gaps in greenery. It’s a pushy neighbor though, so don’t plant it amongst delicate plants; place it where it has room to spread and grow. Deer resistant and easy-care, Hay-Scented Fern likes well-drained, moist soil. As with many ferns, if the soil is kept consistently moist, this one can even tolerate full sun, although it will look its best with some shade. Native to the open woods east of the Mississippi.
