Coastal Plain Plants of North Carolina: Sweetbays, Fetterbush, Ferns, and Jewelweed

Explore the unique flora of North Carolina's sandhills and inner coastal plain. Sweetbays thrive in acidic, poorly drained soils and are commonly found in winter-flooded areas. Sweet pepperbush and fetterbush flourish in similar environments, often where flooding and extreme soil acidity occur. Discover the cinnamon fern, which prefers damp, shady areas, and the royal fern, found in moist soils of the Piedmont region. Jewelweed, known for its vibrant clusters, thrives in shaded, moist forested regions. Learn about these fascinating plants and their ecological habitats.

  3. Fetterbush • Found in the sandhills and inner coastal plain • Fetterbush occurs on sites where flooding is common and soils that are strongly to extremely acidic, poorly drained, peaty, and organic

  4. Cinnamon fern • Found in all regions of NC. • Cinnamon ferns are found acidic, damp soil, water-logged areas, moist and shady places, especialy around swamp edges.

  5. Royal fern • Found in the piedmont region of NC • Royal ferns can be found in places where the soil is kept moist for periods of time. • Often found in or around ditches

  6. Jewelweed • Found in the piedmont region of NC • Jewelweed grows in huge clusters in shady forested areas, particularly where it can find moist soil.
