There are a number of ferns that are native to north western Missouri. Many of them also lap over into Kansas. There are also several that are native to other parts of Missouri but grow well in the Kansas City area.Natives to this area include:
Maidenhair fern,Adiantum pedatum
Purple cliffbrake, Pellaea atropurpurea - grows on rocks
Cloak Fern, Argyrocosmo dealbata - grows on rocks
Christmas fern, Polystichum acrostichoides
Sensitive fern, Onoclea sensibilis
Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris - probably the very best for this area
Goldie's fern, Dryopteris goldiana
Ebony spleenwort, Asplenium platyneuron
Common woodsia, Woodsia obtusa
Bulblet fern, Cystopteris bulbifera
Fragile fern, Cystopteris fragilis and C. protrusa - they are almost identical except the roots
It would probably be a good idea to check on a fern book for more information. The Missouri Conservation Department offers Field Guide to Missouri Ferns at nature centers in Blue Springs and Mid-town Kansas City. Since it is published by the state and the authors and illustrators don't get paid, it is less expensive than many such books.The Peterson Fern Guide is available at most large bookstors. You can sit on their nice sofas and read them for hours without buying. That is a good idea as books do cost money and you want to know that the book you pay for fits your needs.The Linda Hall Library at 51st and Cherry in Kansas City has a small collection of ferns in the woodland wildflower garden on the east side of the south lawn. I am usually able to meet people there for a tour if anyone is interested.--Sue Hollis3311 Gillham RdKansas City MO 64109-1749816-561-9419 -------------- Original message ----------------------From: "michael schembs" <michaelschembs@sbcglobal.net>>> Hello Sue.> Ken passed your name along to give some insight to the Question below?
