Ostrich Fern is a clump forming upright deciduous fern with large showy light green fronds that resemble ostrich plums. Best in part sun and moist well-drained soil. The Ostrich Fern fiddleheads are edible.
*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
