Just planted in April...

Grown a bit by October

New frond unfurling Common name water fern; leather fern Family pteridaceae Life cycle perennial (Z9-11) Flowers inconspicuous This fern is native to Florida and the Caribbean. Online photos of this species vary quite a bit in appearance, but ours resembles the ones from US web sources. We bought ours as a pond marginal and planted it along the streamside of our waterfall pond, which is consistent with its marshy native habitat, but it apparently also grows in regular garden soil.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: waterfall pond
