Cinnamon Fern 3.5" Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Osmunda cinnamomea, commonly known as the Cinnamon Fern, is a striking, deciduous native fern that brings texture, height, and seasonal beauty to shaded and moist landscapes. Its vibrant green, arching fronds can grow up to four feet tall, creating a lush, tropical feel in woodland gardens, rain gardens, or along pond edges. What truly sets this fern apart are its distinctive, upright cinnamon-colored fertile fronds that emerge in spring, adding a warm contrast to its feathery green foliage. As the seasons change, the fronds take on golden hues in autumn before gracefully fading for winter dormancy, ensuring year-round visual interest.
Thriving in consistently moist, well-drained soil, it is perfect for naturalized plantings, wetland restoration, or filling in damp, shaded areas where other plants may struggle. Its adaptability and resistance to pests make it a low-maintenance yet high-impact choice for gardeners looking to create a serene, woodland retreat. Whether used as a focal point or as part of a lush, layered planting, Osmunda cinnamomea brings a timeless, natural beauty to any landscape. Add the bold elegance of the Cinnamon Fern to your garden today!
