Walking Fern
This perennial fern does not have flowers or blooms. They can tolerate occasional wetness and wet soil. The common name comes from the fact that the leaves sprout new plants at their apices. It is used in woodland gardens and as groundcover. Walking Ferns have very attractive foliage and the simple leaves are often long-tapering to the tips. The Walking Fern, Camptosorus rhizophyllus, is an interesting little plant. After a few generations, the plant appears as if it is 'walking' across the ground because the frond tips curve over and root wherever they touch the ground. ... more info
