DESCRIPTION
Blechnum spicant is an evergreen fern characterized by its two distinct types of fronds. The sterile fronds form a low-growing rosette of dark green, leathery leaves that lie close to the ground, while the fertile fronds rise upright from the center and are more slender and divided. Although ferns do not produce flowers, their vibrant, textured foliage provides year-round visual interest, particularly in shaded or woodland settings.
Native to Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, Blechnum spicant thrives in temperate climates, often found in damp, shaded environments like woodlands and streambanks. Its ability to tolerate acidic soils and its elegant, structured appearance make it a popular choice for naturalistic gardens and borders.
