Adiantum pedatum, commonly known as the five-fingered maidenhair fern, is a hardy, deciduous fern native to the forests of eastern North America. In spring, fresh green fronds emerge, contrasting with attractive black stems. It’ll grow to form a feathery clump that will combine well with other woodland plants like epimediums, uvularias and ferns. Adiantum pedatum grows best in a moist, fertile and humus-rich soil, in dappled to partial shade. [Gardeners World]
