Royal Fern

Osmunda regalis

The Royal Fern is a majestic plant with large, feathery fronds that can grow in damp, shady areas. Its name 'Royal' suits its grand appearance in the forest.

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The Royal Fern has striking, bright green fronds that are broad and upright, often reaching over a meter tall. Uniquely, it features separate fertile fronds tipped with rusty-brown, spore-bearing structures that stand distinctly above the sterile green foliage, giving it a regal, almost flower-like appearance.
