Growing Information

The Netted Chain Fern grows best in shaded or partially sunny locations with consistently moist, acidic soil. Regular watering is essential to maintain the preferred moisture levels. This fern spreads slowly by rhizomes, making it an excellent choice for naturalizing in woodland or native plant gardens. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9 and will die back in winter, returning robustly in spring.
