Thelypteris palustris
Thelypteris palustris
Marsh fern (Thelypteris palustris) is a hardy, low-maintenance fern best suited to moist or boggy garden beds, pond margins, and rain gardens. It thrives in partial shade with consistently wet soil and will spread naturally to form attractive colonies over time. Avoid dry or well-drained conditions, as this plant is sensitive to drought.
