Matteuccia struthiopteris, Ostrich Fern
Sold in a strip of 4 deep plugs for $38.00
These deep plugs are typically the preferred size for plants that are shallow-rooted. The additional width of these plugs allows for horizontal growth of the roots, which benefits many species of ferns and sedges.
Each individual plug measures 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” across by 4” deep.
These plugs are landscape-ready, but also offer a head start should you be interested in potting them up.
Plant Description
This giant, Southwestern PA native, clump-forming fern creates a beautiful backdrop for any garden, shooting up to 5 feet high. This fern does best in average-to-wet soil in part to full shade. The fiddle head is edible when cooked. They spread by rhizomes to form dense colonies in ideal conditions, so make sure that you have the space for these gorgeous plants.
