The Fiddlehead fern is a perennial that returns year after year. Its fantastic green color constantly improves the look of a house. The plant grows best in U.S.D.A. zones 3-9. It grows best in the shade and is about 4 feet high by mid-summer.

The Fonds Of The Fiddlehead Fern Reaches Up To 5 Feet Tall

The deciduous Fern grows in circular clumps and spreads by underground runners. The large green ostrich plume-shaped fronds reach 5' before dying in the fall. The frond's leaflets are twice divided (bipinnate). A few weeks after the first green fronds appear in spring, brown spore-covered fronds emerge from the center.

These Ferns Spreds By Spores

The Fiddlehead fern is smaller than the first green fronds and, in ideal conditions, can create new plants from these spores.
