Cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) is a Missouri
native and is a recommended fern variety by professional
landscapers. While non-flowering, they are grown for their
green deciduous fronds that provide dramatic effect.
The familiar “fiddleheads” emerge from the base of the plant
and unfurl into large, erect, yellowish-green, sterile fronds
that remain attractive throughout summer. The common name
of this plant is in reference to the cinnamon colored fibers
found near the frond base. Fun fact: Osmunda fiber used in
the potting of orchids comes from the roots of these ferns.
