Foxtail ferns

Question

My foxtail fern leaves(s) have all yellowed as colder weather has set in. I live in southeastern Michigan.
Instructions seem to be to cut back yellowed parts, but in this case it would be the entire plant.
Is it dead?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Yes, your plant is dying for the winter. This can only be grown in tropical zones as a perennial. In your area it will be an annual. You will have to replant every year, or keep it as a houseplant.
