The rich jade-green foliage of the Ostrich Plume Fern won't fade or yellow--eye-catching color lasts all season long. Fronds stay full and fluffy, providing plenty of foundation coverage. Stands tall and proud at the back of your shadiest borders--3-4 feet high.

Ferns thrive where many other plants do not- in shade, acid oil and moist but well-drained ground. They need less light, but more water, and should be protected from wind. The sheltered area alongside the house that catches the run-off from the eaves seems made to order for ferns- the ideal foundation planting.

Bareroot.

Zones: 2-9.

Great Fern
Reviewed By: Russell (Lawrenceville, NJ)
Very happy w/ this fern. Thrived in a very shady part of my yard where almost nothing else grew, and is a beautiful plant that takes care of itself. Haven't tried other ferns to compare but def would recomend this one.
