Osmunda spectabilis, or royal fern, is a majestic and striking fern native to North America and parts of Europe. Known for its large, feathery fronds and distinctive golden-brown fertile fronds in spring, it’s an excellent addition to shady woodland gardens, ponds, or wetland landscapes. Thriving in moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil, it grows 3–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, making a bold statement in any space. Hardy in Zones 3–9, it is perfect for naturalizing in damp areas or along water features, offering ecological benefits such as erosion control and habitat for wildlife. Bring the grandeur of royal fern into your garden for an elegant, low-maintenance fern that adds texture and beauty year-round.
