Ostrich ferns are aptly named due to their ostrich feather-like appearance. Fronds unfurl in spring to reveal rosettes of large, dramatic foliage that add visually interesting texture to shaded landscapes. Hardy in zones 3-7, these ferns easily naturalize and spread making them a helpful tool for erosion control. Divide crowns in early spring to further encourage their spread while similarly removing any crowns that extend into unwanted areas to control growth.
