The cinnamon fern, Osmunda cinnamomea (syn. Osmundastrum cinnamomeum), forms tight circles of fresh green fronds, which grow into a beautiful upright shuttlecock by midsummer. In the centre of the shuttlecock, tight plumes of cinnamon-brown spore-bearing fronds emerge, resembling flower spikes. It’s perfect for growing in bog garden or the pond edge, where it looks fabulous with other foliage plants such as gunners and rodgersia.
For best results grow Osmunda cinnamomea in moist to wet, rich soils. Cut down old foliage in late winter.
