Matteuccia struthiopteris
Ostrich Fern*
This reliable fern forms large clumps and will spread if it likes your soil. Dramatic "fiddleheads" rise in the spring and open to form deep green fronds. The fertile fronds, which bear the spores, develop in fall. Pick them to add drama to dried arrangements or leave them to provide winter interest in your garden.
