DESCRIPTION

Hey there, I am the Ostrich Fern, but you can call me Fiddlehead if you like. I am a real stunner with my distinctive looks and edible fiddleheads. Plus, I thrive in the shade – no need for all that direct sunlight. I am relatively low maintenance, making me a fuss-free addition to your garden. Oh, and did I mention my fiddleheads are considered a delicacy in many cuisines. So, if you want a standout addition to your garden that's both stylish and functional, I'm your fern.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Ostrich ferns prefer consistently moist soil. Water deeply once a week, or more frequently if the soil starts to dry out. Make sure to water the soil, not the foliage, to avoid fungal growth.
  • Maintenance: Ostrich ferns are hardy and low maintenance, and do not require much attention. Remove any dead or damaged fronds as they appear.
  • Pruning: Cut back the fronds to the ground after the first frost, or when they turn yellow and die back naturally.
  • (Optional):Ostrich ferns do not require fertilizer, but will benefit from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring.
