As with all Osmundas, Osmunda regalis ‘Japonicum’ loves the wet and
regally bears gorgeous erect dark stems with striking fronds.
Polypodium vulgare

Leathery fronds are often narrow and tapering to the apex. Ideal for a
dryish site among rocks or in a well drained border.
Osmunda claytoniana

Fascinating! Spore producing pinnae are reduced in size and are black,
creating a superb contrast with the sterile frond sections.

The glossy dark green pinnate fronds form a flattish rosette and the
pinnae are rounded and stalked. A wonderfully exotic fern.

An interesting fern with divided and crested fronds perfect for dry shade.
Polypodiums look at their best in the autumn when other plants fade.
