Adiantum pedatum - 2-3’ tall. Prefers moist, well drained sites, but adapts to a variety of conditions. Ferns are excellent soil stabilizers, using their spreading rhizomes, dense root systems, and decaying fronds to bind soil, prevent erosion on slopes, enrich organic matter, improve soil health, and create favorable conditions for other plants, making them valuable for ecological restoration. Zones 3-8. Sold in sets of two.

Ferns help aid in erosion control and soil stabilization. The main structures of ferns, which perform these tasks, are the rhizomes and the root systems. The rhizomes, because they are thin, long and grow horizontally beneath the surface of the ground, help to stabilize the soil.
