Unfurling like delicate lace, the shuttlecock fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris, heralds the arrival of spring in the shaded garden.
Its pale green fronds create a captivating display, filtering sunlight and adding a touch of woodland magic. This clump-forming, deciduous fern thrives in moist, dappled shade, making it ideal for waterside plantings or woodland garden.
The erect, lacy sterile fronds contrast beautifully with the shorter, fertile fronds. Matteuccia struthiopteris is a low-maintenance and easy-to-grow choice for any cool, damp spot, a shady patio container, even tolerating pond margins and boggy conditions.

This fern thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in a partially shaded location. Consistent moisture is key.
Mulching around the base with organic matter helps retain soil moisture and keeps the roots cool. In early spring, remove any dead or damaged fronds to make way for fresh growth.
To control its spread, lift and divide established clumps in spring.
