Plant of the Day

A native of Eastern North America Dennstaedtia punctilobula (hay-scented fern) can be found on the woodland floor in both shade areas and in sunny openings of the tree canopy. This fast-growing deciduous fern forms colonies that can become invasive but it is useful as a ground cover. The fronds smell of freshly mown hay when bruised.
