Dryopteris Macilenta

Cinnamon fern, scientifically known as Dryopteris macilenta, is a striking member of the fern family that thrives in moist, shaded environments. Its unique appearance, characterized by a cinnamon-colored fiddlehead and tall, feathery fronds, makes it a popular choice for both natural landscapes and garden settings. Native to North America, this plant is often found in woodlands and along stream banks where it contributes to the ecological balance. Its ability to flourish in partial shade and its low maintenance requirements make it an ideal plant for wetland restoration projects. With its elegant form and ecological value, the cinnamon fern stands out as a resilient and beautiful addition to the plant world.
