Matteuccia struthiopteris "Ostrich Fern"
"Ostrich Fern" is a graceful, hardy perennial fern prized for its tall, feathery fronds that resemble the elegant plumes of an ostrich. In spring, bright green, vase-shaped fronds unfurl from the center, creating a lush, tropical look even in shady gardens.
This native fern is perfect for shady borders, woodland gardens, or alongside streams and ponds. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and spreads slowly by underground rhizomes to form stunning colonies. In autumn, fronds turn a golden hue before going dormant.
