- Ostrich Fern -

Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) is a striking, shade-loving native plant known for its tall, arching fronds that resemble ostrich plumes. Thriving in moist, rich soils, it’s perfect for woodland gardens or shady borders. In early spring, it produces edible fiddleheads—delicate, coiled shoots prized by foragers. This fern spreads by underground rhizomes, forming lush, green colonies that add texture and movement to any naturalized space.
