Resurrection fern (Pleopeltis minima) is a fern for shade gardens and groundcover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part to full shade and average moisture. It stays 6 to 12 inches tall and wide. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Give it a spot where its small fronds can fill in.
