This stately North American fern can be found in marshes, stream valleys, and moist woods from Newfoundland to Louisiana. It was introduced into British gardens by the early 1800s. The broad fronds and upright, shrubby habit makes this fern a very ornamental accent plant for the garden. Royal Fern's bright yellow-gold fall color rivals that of shrubs.
Arrives in a 1 quart pot.
