You can abuse this tough, tenacious native all you want, but you'll be hard pressed to break its spirit! Upright growing with deep green, lustrous, sweet scented, fern-like foliage, Sweetfern colonizes by spreading stolons and will hold ground in the sandiest, most infertile soils you can imagine, and thrive where other ornamentals fail.
