Osmunda regalis
We're sorry, this plant is currently out of stock! New specimens will be available in late 2011. Please email us at sales@bluebellnursery.com or telephone us on (01530) 413700 if you wish to order in advance.Description
An elegant, large fern with tall stalks unfurling into fronds which stay bright green all year before turning a warm golden, cinnamon-brown colour in autumn. In the summer once established, spore-bearing fronds appear, from a distance looking like faded flower heads. Osmunda regalis is a superb plant for a shady spot and looks particularly good next to streams or ponds.
