Lance Leaved Moonwort

Overview

Lance Leaved Moonwort (Botrychium lineare) is an attractive fern found in damp meadows, grasslands, and wet mountain valleys across much of America. Its light green foliage grows in a rosette and features finely dissected lance-shaped leaves. Delicate yellowish scaly bulbils, dubbed the "gemmations," sprout from its creeping rhizomes. It's an annual plant with no true flowers, but in summer these bulbils form small clusters that are both ornamental and functionally important for propagation. Its unique properties make the Lance Leaved Moonwort a stand-out in any garden setting.
