Ebony Spleenwort Fern
Ebony Spleenwort Fern, Asplenium platyneuron, is an evergreen fern which typically grows to 15" tall and occurs on rocky wooded ledges, rocky slopes and mossy banks.
The ideal planting area would be in a shaded area rich in leaf mulch.
This fern is very attractive when planted with wildflowers such as Tillium, Mertensia and columbines.
Plant in dry, rocky, shady areas of rock gardens (will grow in rocky crevices), native plant gardens or woodland areas.
