Description
The Cinnamon Fern, or Osmundastrum as it is known botanically, is a large fern found in North America, parts of Europe, and Asia.
Other names for the Cinnamon Fern include bead fern and meadow brake. With its large, easily identifiable light brown fronds, Cinnamon Fern can't be mistaken for any other fern. The name Cinnamon Fern' also refers to the fact that it can be affected by the first frosts. Cinnamon Ferns are easy to grow. This plant is suitable for filling spaces and giving your home garden landscape a lush, woodland feel.
Cinnamon Fern favors moist, boggy conditions, making it an excellent choice for your water or rain garden landscape. This plant is best grown in rich, organic, medium moisture, well-drained soil and needs consistent moisture to thrive. Cinnamon Fern also prefers dappled shade yet will thrive in even full sun if water is present. This plant's underground rhizomes form dense mats, allowing the Cinnamon Fern to grow up to two feet tall. Let this plant develop a large colony and even contribute to erosion control with their intertwining roots by planting them near your garden pond or stream bank.
To plant, divide the Cinnamon Fern rhizome clumps into hand size pieces and plant them about 18 inches apart in prepared soil no more than a few inches deep. These ferns prefer a shallow soil depth and moist conditions, yet they will not thrive in standing water.
The Cinnamon Fern's light brown fronds reveal infertile leaves in early spring. Fertile leaves emerge in late summer, appearing like stalks with berry-like growths among the leaves, and eventually turn into spores for new plants. Cinnamon Ferns get aggressive if left untended and allowed to spread. In addition, its foliage may dry out in hot climates, mainly if the soil is not kept moist.
A Cinnamon Fern may be the ideal plant for a damp corner of your garden that needs some brown appeal with eye-catching color all year. Buy a Cinnamon Fern for your garden today!
