Royal Fern
It also grows well in shaded borders, woodland gardens, wild gardens or native plant gardens. The Royal Fern is also known as the Flowering Fern and is deciduous. The Royal Fern is an excellent selection for wet areas along ponds, streams, water gardens or in bogs. The Royal Fern, Osmunda regalis, is a tall, deciduous fern which usually occurs on moist bluffs and ledges and along streams (sometimes growing in the water). Spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters at the tips of the fronds, thus giving rise to the additional common name of flowering fern for this plant. Fronds typically turn yellow to brown in autumn. Royal Ferns typically grows in clumps to 2-3' tall, but with constant moisture can reach 6' in height. The broad fronds have large, well-separated pinnae (leaflets) which give this fern an almost pea-family appearance. ... more info
