Matteuccia struthiopteris (Dryopteridaceae)
(ma-TOO-see-a stroo-thee-OP-ter-is)
Ostrich Fern
Create a soft, lush spot in your garden with this beautiful native fern. Finely textured, deep-green fronds arch gracefully upwards from a central crown. Rhizomes spread slowly making additional clumps, lending a natural feel to areas where drifts of Ostrich Ferns are planted. Like many ferns, the wetter the soil, the more sun they can take. Perfect for naturalizing, as an underplanting around larger shrubs or those hard to fill shady foundation beds.
