Ostrich Fern Rhizomes/Roots for Tennesseans

Up for sale are five Ostrich/Glade fern rhizome/roots. Botanically known as Onoclea struthiopteris, the Ostrich/Glade fern is a deciduous, clump-forming upright to arching fern that typically grows 2-3 feet tall in cultivation, but can reach up to 6 feet tall in moist, cool climates in the wild. The showy parts of this fern are the finely dissected, vegetative (sterile) fronds, which exhibit a feathery appearance reminiscent of long ostrich plumes, as the common name suggests.

This stunning fern can be easily grown in average to medium wet soil, thriving best in rich, constantly moist soil in part shade to full shade conditions. It combines well with other shade-loving perennials like astilbes or hostas, and can be planted in conjunction with early spring wildflowers such as trilliums or bloodroot. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-7, the Ostrich/Glade fern adds a touch of elegance and grace to any garden or landscape.

With its tall, vase-shaped fronds, this deciduous fern emerges in early spring and can grow up to 5 feet tall, thriving in moist, shady habitats. It is an easy-care, low-maintenance plant that provides excellent ground cover and erosion control, making it a perfect choice for borders, naturalized areas, and woodland gardens. The Ostrich/Glade fern also makes a great accent plant for shady areas, as it is hardy and adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions.
