Cinnamon Fern is an upright deciduous fern with both sterile and fertile fronds. The fertile fronds that emerge in spring are stiff and quickly turn brown, while the sterile fronds unfurl a soft yellow-green and turn yellow in fall. Best in part sun in rich, acidic, and moist well-drained soil. * Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
