This fern gives pond margins and damp borders a change of colour through the seasons, from pale green fronds in summer to deep russet in autumn. It suits positions from full sun to part shade and carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit. You receive three plants, each in a 9cm pot.
Osmunda regalis is a large fern suited to permanently damp ground and the shallow margins of a pond, where it gives borders and pond edges a change of colour through the seasons, from pale green fronds in summer to deep russet in autumn. It's grown purely for its foliage, since it doesn't flower, and suits bog gardens, damp borders and pond-edge planting.
It grows well in full sun or part shade and settles into damp soil readily, giving flexibility across different parts of a planting scheme. It's also a fast grower, so it fills out a border or pond margin fairly quickly once established.
You get three plants, each supplied in a 9cm pot, enough to set up a small group or spread individually around a pond edge or bog garden.
This fern holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit and is classed as a native plant, two points worth knowing if you're choosing between fern varieties for a damp or pond-edge planting scheme.
