Osmunda cinnamomea – Cinnamon Fern
Cinnamon Fern is an impressive native perennial fern prized for its tall, graceful fronds and striking cinnamon-brown fertile spikes that appear in spring. Its bright green, arching sterile fronds create a lush backdrop in shaded landscapes, adding texture and a woodland charm.
Thriving in consistently moist, acidic soils, this hardy fern is perfect for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or naturalizing near ponds and streams. It is deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and returns reliably each year in zones 3–9.
