(Mature Size: 36-84"T x Clumping)

• The giant Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) 'The King' - is a huge spreader ready to fill your vacant meadow!
• It is native to much of northern North America, and with its cold tolerance it leads off the spring with magnificent fist-sized green fiddleheads.
• When well-watered, the height of this fern can approach seven feet. (No head in the ground for this bird!)
• Autumn turns the deciduous sterile fronds a glowing golden yellow while the separate fertile fronds fade from green to brown and remain erect throughout the winter.
• Underground runners "run" out forming surrounding colonies making this very useful for a quick cover. And if you don't like it you can always eat it as these are the fiddleheads of gourmet restaurants.
• Ostrich Fern has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
• This fern normally prefers northern climates, but this selection will do well in the southeast as well.
