How to identify Carrot fern (Onychium japonicum)
Carrot fern displays delicate and ornate fronds, each finely dissected to form a shape akin to the tuft of greens atop a carrot. The fronds grow in an upright fashion, emanating a light, feathery appearance. These fronds are often found reaching heights of around 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm), giving the plant a graceful, airy demeanor. The bright green hue of the foliage further enhances its intricate pattern, casting a lush aesthetic in deeply shaded areas it favors.
