Latin Name: Osmunda regalis

Description: A deciduous fully hardy fern which forms a very attractive, stately plant in spring and summer. In April and May the huge new fronds unfurl, they are bright green and make a stunning display. As the fronds die back in late summer they turn russet coloured. Best planted in partial shade in moist, humus-rich soil which is preferably slighly acid.
