Description / Matteuccia Ostrich Fern
Matteuccia struthiopteris, known as ostrich fern, is a must-have for gardeners seeking lush greenery and easy-care beauty. This elegant fern grows to 36 inches tall and wide, with larger colonies forming over time. Its arching fronds mimic ostrich feathers, spreading to create a light, airy canopy that adds texture and cooling charm to the landscape.
A hardy perennial for Zones 4-9, ostrich fern Is a North American native plant. However, wild Matteuccia ostrich fern populations are now endangered, but you can contribute to their preservation by adding them to your garden. Our nursery-grown plants are exclusively propagated commercially and never taken from their natural habitats.
Ostrich fern spreads naturally and thrives in various settings, from wet areas near ponds and streams to shaded woodlands or wild gardens. Its adaptability makes it a perfect addition to water gardens, bogs, or even southern woodland spaces.
This fern flourishes in dappled shade with light, rich soil and regular moisture, particularly during its establishment phase. Though shade or partial shade is ideal, it tolerates a range of light conditions, including some sun. Add a year-round mulch to support growth and maintain soil health.
Plant ostrich fern roots in spring, 18 inches apart, with crowns set at or just below soil level. Enjoy years of effortless beauty as these ferns spread and multiply, enhancing your garden's natural appeal.
