?Cristata the King? (Dryopteris affinis) is the ?king? of the many Dryopteris affinis cultivars. The species, commonly called the Golden-scaled Male Fern is a distinguished wintergreen with a highly ornamental flourish of spring fronds garnished with shaggy ?golden scales?. This characteristic carries on to its many varieties making them a very welcome addition to the beauty of spring. The king?s 2 to 4 foot fronds are crowned by shredded tips, and this crested feature manifests itself on the tips of the pinnae as well giving the entire frond a unique silhouette. The king is especially appropriate as a grand focal point in gardens from Zones 4 and higher.
