Phegopteris Luxurians
Cinnamon fern, scientifically known as Phegopteris luxurians, is a striking native plant commonly found in moist woodlands and wetlands across eastern North America. With its distinctive cinnamon-hued fronds and tall, arching form, it stands out among other ferns with its unique appearance. This plant thrives in shaded, damp environments and is often used in ornamental gardening due to its aesthetic appeal. Its spores are released in late summer, contributing to its role in forest ecosystems. Despite its delicate look, the cinnamon fern is hardy and adaptable, making it a resilient addition to natural and cultivated landscapes.
