About the Ebony
Spleenwort Fern :
Ebony Spleenwort Fern, Asplenium platyneuron, is
an evergreen fern which typically grows to 15" tall
and occurs on rocky wooded ledges, rocky slopes and
mossy banks. The fronds are arching, pinnate,
somewhat glossy and are dark green and sterile. The
central stipe (stem) is dark purplish brown.
Ebony Spleewort Ferns are also know as Spleenwort
Ferns. The common name of spleenwort refers to
purported medicinal value once attributed to the
plant. Plant in dry, rocky, shady areas of rock
gardens (will grow in rocky crevices), native plant
gardens or woodland areas. The ideal planting area
would be in a shaded area rich in leaf mulch. This
fern is very attractive when planted with
wildflowers such as Tillium, Mertensia and
columbines. |
