A giant among ferns!
Huge green fronds and rusty 'flowerheads'
Beautiful autumn colour
A large and majestic fern, deservedly named the Royal Fern. Osmunda regalis forms bushy crowns of huge, simple fronds, up to 6ft in height. In spring, the fronds emerge a luminous acid green and are strongly erect – making an eye-catching sight in the spring sunshine. Mature fronds become pendulous and are accompanied by upright, fertile fronds that emerge from the centre of the crown, resembling rusty brown flowerheads. These fertile fronds continue to provide an attractive feature throughout winter. This deciduous fern provides further interest in autumn when the fronds turn shades of copper.
Osmunda regalis makes a statuesque specimen fern for bog gardens and the margins of ponds and streams in acid soils that remain reliably moist. This native fern is becoming increasingly rare in the wild and deserves to be more widely grown. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 2m (6.5ft). Spread: 1m (3.2ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
