About Native Ostrich Fern and growing it in Alberta

Emerging as bright green fiddleheads in spring, the fronds unfurl into tall, plume-like structures that add soft, feathery texture to shaded gardens. Thriving in moist, woodland settings or along streambanks, it is low-maintenance and pest-resistant. In favorable conditions, it can spread vigorously, so occasional containment may be needed to manage its growth.
