Asplenium scolopendrium – Hart’s Tongue Fern Square quart

A very attractive and hardy perennial evergreen that looks like it came out of the jungle in the Jurassic Period, the Hart's Tongue Fern forms a pretty rosette to 18 inches tall and wide of bright green, strap-shaped, solid fronds that aren't divided like other ferns. The fronds remain lush and attractive year round, even during the winter when they provide a gleaming presence in what might be an otherwise dormant, drab garden. To care for them, keep soil damp but not waterlogged, mist regularly, and place in a north or east-facing spot.
