Description

Arguably the most handsome of ferns! In spring, Matteuccia orientalis unfurls fresh green, slender fronds that stand erect in the shape of a shuttlecock. They are surrounded by wider, pendulous fronds held on long stems that resemble a spray of ostrich feathers, hence its common name ‘Oriental Ostrich Fern’. Slightly more compact than its commoner relative, Matteuccia struthiopteris, it makes a better choice for smaller gardens. A gorgeous foliage plant for dappled shade in moist woodland-type borders or surrounding water. This deciduous, hardy fern is deservedly popular and has been recognised with an RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 60 - 90 cm (2 - 3 ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Plant in partial shade in fertile, acid or neutral soil in a position that is reliably moist and cool. Ferns prefer a soil that is rich in organic matter so add some well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting.
More Info
Feed and water ferns regularly until they are fully established. Leave old fronds on over winter to protect the crown. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around each plant in spring.
