| This is the third Goldback Fern (Pentagramma triangularis) that I've attempted.
One died in a container, and a second in the yard was repeatedly disturbed by animals (skunks or turkeys or raccoons). But I'm trying again.

| They love ground-up limestone. My problem was treating them like a "normal" fern instead of the seasonal ferns (wey winter/dry summer) they are. |

| Yep! They drown in a container with a water reservoir (from my experience). And they don't like mulch against their crown, either. I've been moving the redwood needles and oak leaves when they get too deep/close to the fern. Thanks for checking it out! Josh |
