Buy Osmunda regalis royal fern: Magnificent giant fern. Great beside water

This fern is deciduous so all its fronds will die back in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again each spring.

  • Position: partial shade
  • Soil: moist, fertile, humus-rich, preferably acid soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    A stunning, giant fern that really lives up to its regal name. In spring, huge, bright green fronds unfurl and filter the sunlight. In autumn, they turn bronze before dying back. This deciduous fern forms a natural, rounded shape and looks fantastic planted near a pond or stream, where its feathery fronds will be reflected in the water. It likes damp, preferably acid soil, and looks breathtaking with other moisture-loving, large foliage plants such as rodgersia and gunnera.

  • Garden care: Lift and divide congested colonies inautumn or early spring.

Planted this down a bank that backs onto woods, which I like to naturalise, the plant was beautiful and Healthly. Unfortunately the deer also thought it was lovely and tasty as well and have eaten every scrap of it. Not good so would not recommend if you have deer.
