The waterside fern Osmunda regalis (royal fern, blooming fern, buckhorn brake, ditch fern, rusty fern, water fern) thrives in damp acidic soils. This large clump forming plant has bright green bipinnate fronds in spring but these develop spectacular red-brown colours in autumn.

The medium-sized deciduous fern Osmunda regalis (royal fern, blooming fern, rusty fern, water fern) bears rusty-brown spores either on modified pinnae or on separate, smaller fronds. This fern makes a large clump usually in wet places. The fronds turn an attractive red-brown in the autumn.
