|
This very hardy hybrid has a very large crown and sterile fronds that are 50% larger than its native parent, the Ostrich fern. It creates a tropical look wherever planted. Edible fiddleheads are a bonus - but don't forget to cook thoroughly! Grows 4-7' tall with a 2-3' spread. | | | | Common Name: | Jumbo Ostrich Fern | | Hardiness Zones: | 3-8 |
