Set 20 Cinnamon Ferns (Bare Root)

Enhance your garden with the Set 20 Cinnamon Ferns (Bare Root), ideal for creating lush, multi-dimensional landscapes. Scientifically known as Osmundastrum cinnamomeum, these ferns thrive in zones 4-9 and are native to moist habitats like swamps and streambeds across eastern North America. Known for their striking dual-frond structure, the cinnamon-colored fertile fronds contrast beautifully with the surrounding vibrant green sterile fronds, making them a standout in any shaded garden.

Reaching heights of up to 4 feet, these ferns are perfect for adding height and texture to garden beds, borders, or naturalized landscapes. Their short creeping rhizomes allow for easy division, enabling gardeners to expand their plantings effortlessly. With proper care and moisture, these ferns grow larger each year, reaching maturity in about four years.

For best results, plant the tubers 1-2 inches deep in well-drained, compost-rich soil. Keep the soil lightly moist to encourage robust growth, and apply mulch in winter to protect against frost and pests. When planted in late summer or fall, the ferns will go dormant but will re-emerge the following spring, ensuring long-lasting beauty year after year.

These bare root Cinnamon Ferns are perfect for adding a natural, wild touch to your landscape while requiring minimal maintenance once established.
