How to grow royal fern
Osmunda regalis
When to plant royal fern
Royal fern is a large fern for wet ground and pond edges; its fronds emerge pale pink in spring and turn yellow-brown in autumn. Set out new plants in spring; it tolerates near full sun in cool-summer climates as long as the soil stays consistently moist.
Royal Fern is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
