Botrychium lanceolatum

Also Known As - Lanceleaf Grapefern
The Triangle Grape Fern (Botrychium lanceolatum) is a striking hemicryptophyte of the Pteridophyte family. It is easily recognized by its bright green, triangular lacy leaves and its individual growth habit. It grows in moist forests throughout the United States and Canada, often forming large colonies beneath the canopy. The Triangle Grape Fern is deciduous and grows to 12” tall and 20” wide. Its fronds are brightly colored in springtime and their texture can be quite feathery. In autumn the fronds turn yellow, then brown, and die back for the winter months. The Triangle Grape Fern is a hardy and attractive addition to woodlands, moist gardens, and other outdoor spaces.

watering

Echo Moonwort is a low-maintenance, perennial plant species that thrives in well-drained soils. They should receive regular watering to keep their soil moist but not saturated. Generally, they should be watered 2-3 times a week, providing enough water to saturate the soil around the roots but not to the point of run-off. During hot summer months, they may need to be watered more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out. During cooler winter months, they should be watered less often, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between irrigation. During periods of extreme heat or drought, Echo Moonwort may require more frequent watering to ensure their survival.

sunlight

Echo Moonwort (Botrychium echo) is a plant species that thrives in full sunlight. For optimal growth, this species requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the spring and summer months, this species should receive a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight during the middle of the day, when solar radiation is at its strongest. In the fall and winter, it is best to aim for 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight each day, as the solar radiation is weaker during this time of the year.

pruning

Echo Moonwort (Botrychium echo) should be pruned in late winter or spring, depending on the climate where it is planted. Pruning should be minimal and only the dead or broken foliage should be removed. Excessive pruning will cause the plant to become thin and weak. When pruning, care should be taken not to damage any of the growing points, as these are where new foliage will appear.
