Description and Cultural Information:
Ostrich Fern 4 - 5'. Ostrich ferns have large, dark green fronds with a vase shaped growth. True northern variety grown in New Hampshire.
Fertile fronds arise 6 - 12" in the center of the clump around midsummer, turning brown by fall. Plants are aggressive spreaders, to say the least.
How to Grow: Ostrich ferns are native to marshy areas, little islands, and deltas of shallow streams and creeks. Plant them in humus-rich, moist soil in part to full shade. Plants will tolerate some sun, but will need much more moisture to keep them looking good into late summer. Plants grow from dense, underground runners that spread out in every direction. Crowns can be dug up and replanted in the spring and early summer, planting them right at the level of the soil.
Landscape uses: Ostrich ferns make excellent background plants in the shade garden. Plant them with hostas and other tough perennials and shrubs. Thin plants out as necessary. If you don't want them to take over a garden, restrict them to large areas or areas where their spreading can be controlled.
Shipping size: #1's, 4 to 5" root tubor.

Fern, Japanese Painted - Anthyrium nipponicum 'Pictum' Low maintenance, and dramatic high contrast colors stand out against the darker greens in the shade garden. Its short stature and spreading form make it an excellent choice for foreground foliage
