Royal Fern
Osmunda Regalis is one of the most moisture-loving shade perennials. It reaches a grand size and has gorgeous green fronds. It loves a semi-shaded area and is perfect among trees, Shade Fern , or other tall plants. It is most suited to USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 8.
The Royal Fern is native to North American wetlands and bogs from the Canadian border to northern Florida. It is a hardy ornamental species that can tolerate heat, cold, light flooding, and even droughts.
Royal Ferns are impressive at maturity, around three to six feet tall and four to eight feet wide.
They have large, broad, feather-shaped fronds in a bright, deep green color. The fronds display two rows of smaller leaflets, each oval in shape with gently rounded ends. These ferns typically grow upright, but they may droop or bend over from the weight of the fronds as they mature.
They reproduce via spore-bearing structures on the underside of the fronds. They do not require you to fertilize them to help them multiply.
