Walking Fern
Category: Home/Family> Garden> Ferns> Camptosorus rhizophyllus

The Walking Fern, Camptosorus rhizophyllus, is an interesting little plant. The common name comes from the fact that the leaves sprout new plants at their apices. 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. Walking Ferns have very attractive foliage and the simple leaves are often long-tapering to the tips. They can tolerate occasional wetness and wet soil. It is used in woodland gardens and as groundcover. This perennial fern does not have flowers or blooms.
