Ostrich Fern - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Matteuccia struthiopteris, commonly known as the Ostrich Fern, is a majestic, deciduous fern prized for its tall, gracefully arching fronds that resemble the elegant plumes of an ostrich. This dramatic, fast-growing fern thrives in moist, shaded environments, forming striking, vase-shaped clumps that bring texture and movement to woodland gardens, shaded borders, or damp, low-lying areas. In spring, its delicate, coiled fiddleheads unfurl into vibrant green fronds, creating a lush, prehistoric feel in the landscape. These fiddleheads are edible, too. As summer progresses, the fertile fronds develop a rich, bronze hue, adding seasonal interest and contrast to the garden. Transform your shade garden with the lush, architectural beauty of the ostrich fern! Hardy and low-maintenance, it flourishes in consistently moist soil and spreads gradually to form a natural, verdant backdrop. Whether planted along a woodland path, near a water feature, or as a striking focal point in a shaded border,
