Tennessee Ostrich Fern is a native deciduous fern with a symmetrical vase shaped habit and pale green upright fronds. Best grown in part shade and rich, acidic and moist well-drained soils. Deer resistant. Tennessee Ostrich has edible fiddleheads which go up in spring.
*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
