Use and Care Manual

The ‘TN Ostrich Fern’, a glade fern, produces stately fronds

which grow upright and are vase-shaped. Ferns make for

nice back ground in the garden to create a woodland setting.

Although it prefers shade it will grow in full sun as well.

It’s non-ﬂowering, and at its most beautiful in spring when

the fronds start to unfurl. Very low maintenance, just take

care at time of planting. It will multiply quickly by rhizomes

to form colonies. Deer resistant.

About This Variety: Excellent selection for wet areas along ponds, streams, water gardens or in bogs. Also grows well in shaded borders, woodland gardens, wild gardens or native plant gardens. Growing Instructions: Part shade to full shade is preferred. Regular watering and a layer of mulch are beneficial. Care Tip: Equally happy in average or moist soil; it will grow in sun with constant moisture. Not fussy, adapts well to less then ideal conditions. Cut back fronds as they die out in hot summers.
