Matteuccia struthiopteris
Ostrich Fern
Its bright green deciduous fronds provide a dramatic backdrop to the shady border. Features a tall vase-shaped form with arching fronds. Spreads by underground runners, so it’s an excellent choice for naturalizing in dappled shade. Prefers shady sites with average or moist soil but will grow in full sun with constant moisture.
