The King Ostrich Fern is a majestic and impressive specimen that commands attention in any shade garden. With its towering, upright fronds that unfurl like ostrich plumes in spring, this native fern creates a dramatic architectural statement. The vase-shaped growth pattern and bright green foliage provide a stunning backdrop for smaller shade-loving perennials.

    King Ostrich Ferns thrive with minimal maintenance once established. Keep soil consistently moist and mulch to retain moisture. Remove any brown or damaged fronds in early spring before new growth emerges. These ferns spread through underground rhizomes and may need occasional division every 4-5 years to control spread.

    Planting Instructions

    Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 3-4 feet apart. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown.
