More: Why grow ferns besides your admiration for a plant that has been present on Earth for over 360 billion years? Ferns support wildlife by creating protective cover and shady, moist micro-habitats for small mammals, toads, salamanders, and numerous insects. The fuzzy covering on emerging croziers is used by birds for nesting material. Ferns help prevent erosion and filter run-off. For the gardener they offer the gifts of graceful architecture and low-maintenance, textural beauty. They are also rabbit, deer, and juglone resistant.
The common name, Interrupted Fern, comes from the placement of its spore structure in the middle of each stalk. After emergence in the spring, fertile leaflets develop partway between to top and bottom of the stalk (frond) and once these wither away a gap is left between upper and lower leaflets, therefore the "interrupted" moniker. Fiber from this fern is used to make potting medium for orchids. Has been used medicinally.
